How to properly lock your bike

Avoid locking your bike to hand railings and stop signs. Look for bike racks or street signs in relatively high-traffic areas (bikes in out-of-sight areas are more likely to be stolen).

Your frame and rear tire are the most expensive parts of your bike. If possible, lock your bike through the main frame of your bike and around your rear tire as show in the picture below.
