CRIME PREVENTION:
Gerry's Top Tip!

Thieves love bikes, so don’t ever leave your bike, not even for a minute, without them being secured. As a general rule, if you’re not sat on it, secure it!

Have your bike's frame security-marked or engraved, and get a good bike lock, better still two. Ensure that the locks you buy meet the ‘Sold Secure’ Gold standard. You’ll find these quality locks in your local bike shops or on all of the regular bike retailers’ websites. Have a read of the various reviews. Check out www.soldsecure.com for more information on good quality locks.
