30 From inside the community Essex Police Protecting your cycle Cycles are stolen from many locations including the town centres, transport hubs, residential areas, and educational establishments. Commonly cycles are not secured properly—don’t make it easy for thieves with these top tips: 1. Double lock it - using two locks slows thieves down and makes your bike less of a target. Use two quality locks, at least one of which is a D-lock. Thieves are less likely to carry multiple tools, so use two different types of lock if possible. 2. Lock the lot - lock the frame and both wheels to a secure cycle stand. 3. Secure it - secure your bike as close to the stand as possible, to give any thieves little or no room to manoeuvre.
