Secure the front brake disc with a disc lock or a grip lock to secure the brake and throttle controls.

Use a D lock on the front wheel and a chain lock through the back wheel.

Secure your bike with the lock taut to an immovable object such as a ground anchor/street furniture. If this isn’t possible, thread the chain through your bike frame and back wheel.

Cover up your bike.

Call police immediately on 999 if you see your bike being stolen or call 101 if you discover it has gone.
