What is the way best to secure a bicycle against theft?

Answer 1

1) don't get a nicer bike than you need. 2) replace all quick-releases with nuts and bolts that needs tools to come off 3) don't leave it sitting in the same spot too long, that'll make it look abandoned 4) don't get a bike that looks too crummy either, as that'll add to the abandoned look 5) don't just lock the bike, lock it to something as well. One big U-lock should make it possible to lock front wheel + frame to a fence or a post, then a smaller lock can be used to secure the rear wheel to the frame.

Answer 2

There are so many brands out there for bike locks which are considered as the best among its type. Brands such as Kryptonite, Abus, Avenir, and OnGuard are just few of the most popular brands used by people for bike locks. But discovering the best bike lock really depends on your experience with a certain brand of bike lock. You will never know unless you try one.

Answer 3

Any which way you want. Some use big U-locks that can go through the frame and around a lamppost and similar. Others use a smaller lock mounted to the frame only. Others use a smaller frame mounted lock together with a wire to tether the bike to a railing, lamppost or similar.

Yet some people use a regular padlock and a length of chain.

Best is if you can lock all the major parts of the bike (wheels and frame) together, and to something solid (lamp post, rail etc).

If you just lock the bike there's a risk someone will pick it up, put it on a truck, and drive away with it to someplace where the lock can be removed.

Keep in mind that all locks can be defeated. If you really, really don't want to lose your bike, never let it out of sight. But if you lock it up reasonably well there's usually another bike nearby that will be an easier target.

The best bike lock available is the OnGuard Pitbull STD. This model uses a key entry instead of combination and is constructed to be invincible against bolt cutters/hacksaws etc It has a complex locking system which is difficult to open even if someone is attempting to cut through it with a power tool.

The only to secure a bike to the back rack is to remove the front wheel. By removing this wheel it will prevent anyone from riding off on your bike no matter what.
