Worried about bike security?
Thanks to SA Police, there are some great tips below to keep your bike as secure as possible!
Engrave or mark your bike frame, and any bike accessories
>> Mark it permanently (ultraviolet pen, microdot, etc.) with “S” (for South Australia) followed by your driver’s licence number e.g. S123456
- Take a photo of your bike, then complete the Bike Passport and keep it in a safe place.
- Buy a good quality bike lock and make sure it fits well.
>> Need help with choosing a lock? Talk to Treadly (in the Hub’s Western Courtyard) or your bike dealer.
- Park and secure your bike in well-lit and populated areas.
>> Lock your bike frame and both wheels to a secure object.
>> When securing your bike, remove equipment including helmet, lights, pump, etc.
- Never leave your bike unattended and unlocked, even for a short period of time.
- At home, keep your bike in a locked shed or inside your house.
