bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online

1. That Honey Bunny in the heels is just borrowing the bike. Ok , I'll see you after bit , luv u , bye bye!
2. Nice advices.
   My tips: buy 2 locks.
3. I had an old bike that looked really nice but was unrepairable (it was a driveshaft bike) I couldn't fit it in my trash can so I took it down to WalMart and parked it in the bike rack and came out a few minutes later and it was gone !  - - - - problem solved
4. What about the third strategy - not too buy a bike? ))
   Or the fourth strategy - steal a bike yourself, so when someone steals it, you can go and steal another? )))))
5. Thief on Heels :)
6. How to park your bike where I live:
   just use the key lock on your bike, no need for fancy u-locks or chain locks.
   Just dont park itnear the train station
7. It's a good idea to mix different kinds of locks; for instance use a U lock in combination with some other chain or even cable(???). The idea is that the thieve would have to carry different tools to deal with your bike and probably look for something easier to steal.
8. 0:41 not as safe as they think: frame is locked but goodbey front and rear wheel.
   1:06 goodbye helmet (though unlikely still possible) and goodbye both wheels, again
   1:32 yup, locked inside isn't locked inside unless chained to a fixed-anchored source
   2:21 FINALLY, locked frame and back wheel
9. I appreciate that the bike thief wasn't stereotypically male.
10. I'm lucky to work at a place with a lot of cameras and my garage is more then safe, my brother herd me working on my bike in the garage, didn't know who it was and came in with a gun to check, nobody's getting into my house, and who ever does isn't getting out.
11. I find the bike thief in this video so charming I would simply give her my bike.
12. I am thankfully lucky- when I ride to work, my employer lets me keep my bike at my work station.....it never leaves my sight all day, and it's out of the elements. Then at home, I have a nice secure attached garage on my house with an alarm and a rack to hang my bike up on at the end of the day:-). I keep a separate "junker" bike to make runs to the grocery store, etc. I paid $20 for it at a garage sale, and I did a custom paint job to make it look not worth stealing, lol.
13. don't forget, bolt on accessories that cant be removed are a bonus, and dress the bike down with some bad paint, or if you love your bike too much, used black oil smeared over the frame, washes off but stops it standing out.
14. Nice video! Goes into some details alot finer than i've previously seen in other bike locking vids, especially about locking up around a light source at night. - Other details i'd add in to this video would be to use multiple varieties of locks, I,E, Chain, D-Lock, Cable lock, etc, mixing up the variety means the Thief will have to come equip with a much wider arsenal of tools to successfully break through all your locks. - Also, it seems VERY underrated but it's highly recommended, using Alarmed D-locks or Motion Alarmed Padlocks (for chains) is a very effective way of keeping thieves at bay and alerting you upon any thief.
    
     
15. Taking your accessories with you is a good one. I accidentally locked my bike at the handicap sign and I forgot to take my lights with me and once I got back from library, my back light was gone. Never gonna do that again. Learned my lesson, just glad my bike was still there and in one piece. At least the bike lights were a set and cost me ten bucks so I lost five bucks. I had a flat tire once, got slime put in and never had a flat again. 
16. Zack! I need all of those gadgets for my new bike! Great information! Thanks! 
17. Buy a bicycle and use it regularly...................
    Save energy....save money..... save the planet........
18. Some cities and states encourage bikes.......... they provide safe walking and biking lanes and trails. Cities also should encourage businesses and apartments to provide safe places to lock or store a bicycle. Encourage your elected officials to do more. Speak up.. become an advocate for bicycle use in your city.
