When cycling in a large city like London, the strongest bike locks should always be used. With cycling increasing in popularity as a mode of transport and travel in Bankside, make sure to follow these tips to keep your bicycle as safe as possible when left unattended.

Never use a ‘cable’ lock, these can easily be cut through by bike thieves. The most recommended and secure locks are U-shaped steel bike locks. Check out abus.com or kryptonitelock.com.

See this guide about choosing the correct bike lock.

Always make sure to lock the bike through both frame and a wheel.

For your own peace of mind, bikes should always be insured outside of the home.
