STOP LOCKING YOUR BIKE UP (IN THIS WAY) - Wheel Security PRO TIP

Wheel security. An often forgotten aspect of locking up your bike in a public space. It is all too common that customers come to us with a bicycle that is now turned into a unicycle with handlebars. So do everything you can to ensure that you are locking both your frame and wheels. IF you can only lock up one, your rear wheel is the more valuable one.

Stop by any West Point Cycles location to talk about wheel and bike security to keep your bike safe and keep you riding more often.

Even if one were to lock the rear wheel and the frame to a permanent structure as is suggested, someone with wire cutters could cut the spokes of the rear wheels in seconds and steal your bike or at least the rear wheel and its expensive components.

cable locks can be cut through in seconds; I'd never use one. at least one wheel (preferably both, plus seatpost) should be secured with something like a Hexlox, Pitlock or Pinhead. Then a decent D-lock.
