- Always lock your bicycle when you leave it
- Avoid leaving your bike in isolated places. Leave where the public can see it, however try not to leave on public display for long periods- even if locked properly
- Use a bike stand or shed if there is one available
- Lock your bicycle through the frame using two 'sold secure' approved security devices
- Secure or remove wheels - secure removable parts; lock both the wheels and the frame together and remove smaller parts and accessories that cannot be secured
- Lock your bike to an immovable object, such as a bike rack or ground anchors. Thieves can remove drainpipes and lift bikes off signposts
- Make the lock and bike hard to manoeuvre when parked. Stop thieves smashing it open by keeping the lock away from the ground. Keep the gap between bike and lock small
- Take out insurance on your bike, either by extending your home contents insurance or by creating a separate policy. Cycling organisations and bike shops may offer specialist cover
- Security mark the frame
- Take a photograph of your cycle and keep it safe
- Make a note of the serial number, make and model and keep it with the photograph of the cycle
