Use the Right Lock: Standard cable locks are insufficient; they can be cut in seconds. Use a Sold Secure Gold-standard D-lock.

Double-Locking Technique: For maximum security, use two locks of different types (e.g., a D-lock and a sturdy chain) to secure both the frame and both wheels to a permanent, immovable bike stand.

Strategic Parking: Use the dedicated cycle racks provided on-site. Ensure your bike is in a well-lit area covered by CCTV and in full view of passers-by.

Remove Accessories: Take removable items like lights, pump, and saddle post with you to make the bike less desirable.

Property Marking: Register your bike on BikeRegister or Immobilise. Police in Wednesfield frequently check for Datatag or Smart Water markings during operations to return stolen goods to their owners.
