The warmer months translate to an uptick in bike thefts, showcasing the importance of not only registering bikes but also adhering to essential steps towards theft prevention, store your bike inside a locked space like a house or garage, utilize heavy-duty locks that thwart quick theft attempts specifically go with a U-lock and bind both the frame and front wheel for best results, finally when you have to leave your bike outside, make sure it's secured to a fixed structure, say a bike rack or something that isn't just going to waltz away, common sense actions that go the distance in guarding your trusty ride.
