Keep your bike safe when you stop. Follow GCN on YouTube: http://gcn.eu/gcnsubs When you stop at a cafe or a shop, your bike is an easy target for thieves. There is no substitute for a heavy duty lock or not leaving your bike unattended. If you need to go into a shop or cafe and your bike is momentarily out of sight, these strategies won't stop a thief, but they will delay them.

Fuck off

Or ride a brakeless fixie and watch the thief die as he can't stop.

I feel like in a city, most bike thieves are 100 percent prepared to not be able to ride off. Then again, I carry a 5 lb U lock for when I'm riding out ANYWHERE in New Orleans. Great tips to make it that much more of a pain in the ass though!

I always have a cable lock in my saddle bag. I know it is not the best lock and will be not secure against a cable cutter, but at least it will help when I have it still in view.

Wearing a chain lock around you. Seriously adds weight, however you won't need a pannier or book bag for your heavy U lock.

ctfu I wonder if he said "fuck me" in a British accent when he picked up the bike and the wheels weren't tighten on 1:18 - 1:33

Loosen the stem at the headset. Unless he's walking around with a set of allen keys, no thief will be able to ride your bike and it doesn't cause any damage to your bike!

just had my felt stolen.. 😭😭😭

I bring my bike in with me if its my local resteraunt that i know all the people at. And if they say u cant have it i say they cant have my buiseness and go to the next place. But id never even had to say that

I keep my bike at the bike shop everyday

What do you think about the Pinhead system?

if i undo those quick releases, i probably forgot to tight them up :P

could you make a video on how to protect bikes from scratches

Take the seat with you.

All of these are dumb ideas, as the premise of leaving your bike anywhere unattended for even a few seconds is an invitation for a thief to make off with it. Why take that chance? Either take your bike with you into the store (may be impractical in many stores), have a trusted person watch over it, have someone go in & buy your stuff for you or go somewhere that sells through a window or counter or drive-thru. NEVER leave your bike unattended.

If you have a group and its a short stop have a designated watcher and for that someone gets their drink.

You forgot to mention elastic bands on the brake levers!

I like those tires with the green stripe on the white Felt bike in the video.
What's the name of those tires?

Thanks!!
