Bike Locks

Secure the bike frame and rear wheel to a fixed, immovable object using a strong folding lock, U-lock or chain lock. If the front wheel is removable, protect it with a second lock or an extension cable. For higher-value bikes and e-bikes, consider using two different types of lock and always check the security requirements of your insurance policy.
