All are welcome. The change in the weather means more people are out and about using their bike. High value bikes are being targeted and are generally taken from sheds and garages and sold online via social media platforms quickly and easily. If you use a bike ride tracking app such as Strava make sure your privacy settings are changed so that your start and end point aren’t being shared; this is likely to be your home address and tell others where your bike is stored. Register your bike for free using an accredited property database such as: www.immobilise.com or: www. bikeregister.com Always ensure your bike is locked securely and anchored to an immovable point, even when being stored in a shed or garage. It is best to use two locks which are tted closely to the bike.
