You have spent money on your cycle, so buy the best quality lock you can. View the attachment to see which standard of lock is best for you.

Try and double lock your cycle, this will allow you to secure the frame and both wheels to a cycle stand.

Lock your cycle, even when it is at home, consider alarms and additional security for sheds.
