Locking your bike should be straight forward - well I got it wrong haha. So thought I would share some tips on the best way of securing your bike while out and about.
I've been using Hiplok locks for a few years now so super excited to have them as a channel sponsor! :) Happy days!!
Here are the two locks mentioned in the video:

Top tip. Any gaffe tape around the bike stand, check to make sure someone has not cut through the stand. They come along later, remove the gaffa tape and steal your bike. Also, give the bike stand a pull as some can lift out the ground.

Loving your content Katie. So many things you cover for us "average" cyclists .( repairs , maintenance , security ) Most channels obsessed with getting bike 1 kg lighter or shaving a few seconds of your PB blah, blah . Your a breath of fresh air and I thank you for that. Never stop :-)

@chrispearson7163 3 года назад

Great video. A little tip for Z-locks is you can also use them as extra security on patio door handles if you loop it tight round the inside handles. It won't stop the most determined burglar, but it will slow them down a lot.

@JerryMac1125 4 года назад

Great Job Katie, so many people have no idea as to how to lock their bike properly !!! The only addition I might add is, if you have a quick disconnect seat use a small cable and lock it to the frame 👍👍👍

I put the u-lock through the rear wheel and around the seat-stay, that locks both the frame and the rear wheel. Use the zip-lock to lock the front wheel to the down-tube.

Exactly, mate. I lived in London. Had one lock: D locked bike through seat tube, rear wheel to post. You need a lock big enough, though.

@pacificbob24 Год назад

Thank you, Katie. I'm 76 years old and live on the west coast of Canada. Your weather is probably similar to ours. I have just started riding a bike again but now it is with an e-Bike. These bikes are much heavier than a normal bike. The problem I have had is riding a bike that is the wrong size. My bike was simply too big and I did not feel comfortable on it so had to exchange it for something smaller. E-bikes are great for seniors with mobility issues. Hiplocks are great. I use the Z Lock Combo and their heavy-duty Hip Lock Original.

@ralph17p 3 года назад

First time I used my Hiplock (the wearable chain one), having bought it minutes beforehand, I didn't realise that I needed to undo the clip and put the lock through both ends of the chain. I ended up leaving my bike in full view on Oxford Street in London for 5 hours effectively unlocked. Someone would only have had to unclip the strap from the padlock to remover the lock. Couldn't believe it was still there when I got back. That said, now that I know how to lock it, I swear by it. It's a brilliant chain lock.

Locking rear wheel and seat tube then front wheel to a solid bike rack, then using the Z lock to lock the front wheel to the bike frame and then threading the cable lock through everything again. Any less and my anxiety would be through the roof 😅 although generally I never leave my bike anywhere out of sight, ever, I bought a brompton for errands and city cycling - even bikepacked the Ardennes on my trusty little Brommie!

Katie, at 3:19 you have just said "top tube or the down tube" but the part of the bike you are pointing to is really called the seat tube. The down tube is the big tube that goes from the headtube (where the fork fits through) and runs down (thus the name) to the bottom bracket.
