ATTACHER SON VÉLO EN TOUTE SÉCURITÉ
ATTACHER SON VÉLO EN TOUTE SÉCURITÉ
  1. CHOISISSEZ L'ANTIVOL APPROPRIÉ. Le niveau de sécurité dont vous avez besoin dépend de l'endroit où vous laissez votre vélo/moto et pendant combien de temps.       
  2. ATTACHEZ TOUJOURS VOTRE VÉLO à un objet solide dont il n'est pas possible de le désolidariser.
  3. ATTACHEZ VOTRE VÉLO dans une zone bien éclairée et fréquentée par les piétons.
  4. ASSUREZ-VOUS que ce à quoi vous attachez votre vélo ne peut être coupé.
  5. ATTACHEZ LES ÉLÉMENTS PAR ORDRE DE VALEUR: cadre, roue arrière, roue avant.
  6. PRENEZ UN ANTIVOL BIEN AJUSTÉ! Laissez le moins d'espace possible à l'intérieur de l'antivol en U ou de la chaîne, pour qu'il soit difficile d'y introduire un outil.
  7. PLACEZ L'ANTIVOL loin du sol, la serrure dirigée vers le bas.

VIDÉOS – ATTACHER SON VÉLO EN TOUTE SÉCURITÉ – ANTIVOL EN U ET CHAÎNE :

Jetez un œil aux vidéos pour savoir comment attacher votre véhicule en toute sécurité avec un antivol en U ou avec une chaîne.

CADRE UNIQUEMENT - ANTIVOL EN U OU CHAÎNE :

Il se peut que, dû à une structure d'attachement particulière, à la taille de votre antivol ou à la taille de votre vélo, ce que vous pouvez effectivement attacher avec l'antivol soit limité. Dans ce cas, attacher le cadre sera la priorité.

CADRE ET ROUE ARRIÈRE - ANTIVOL EN U OU CHAÎNE:

Une bien meilleure solution que d'attacher uniquement le cadre, vous pouvez dans ce cas-ici attacher le cadre et la roue arrière à un objet fixe avec un seul antivol.

CADRE, ROUE ARRIÈRE ET ROUE AVANT - ANTIVOL EN U ET CÂBLE:

C’est une méthode très populaire d'utiliser l'antivol en U pour attacher le cadre et la roue arrière à un objet fixe. La anse du U sert également de point d’ancrage pour le câble à double boucle qui saisit la roue avant.

CADRE, ROUE ARRIÈRE ET ROUE AVANT MÉTHODE À DEUX ANTIVOLS EN U:

Cette méthode est très efficace: on utilise deux antivols généralement primaires, soit deux antivols en U, deux chaînes ou une combinaison des deux types d'antivols. Le premier dispositif sécurise la roue arrière et le cadre à l'objet fixe, tandis que le deuxième sécurise la roue avant au cadre.

PRACTICE PROPER LOCKING TECHNIQUES! WHILE A FOLDING BIKE HAS MANY UNIQUE FEATURES, THE FOUNDATION OF PROPER LOCK-UP STILL APPLY.  PLEASE LOOK TO OUR STANDARD BICYCLE LOCK-UP TAB FOR TIPS ON LOCKING PROCEDURE, AS WELL AS LINKS TO HELP YOU FIND THE RIGHT LOCK. 

BELOW ARE SOME ADDITIONAL TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN LOCKING FOLDING BIKES SPECIFICALLY.

THE LOCK

When locking a folding bike that has been folded, we typically recommend using a chain, long shackle u-lock, or a folding lock.  This will allow you to capture more components of the bike, often times the frame, rear, and front wheel along with the immovable object.

ACCESSORIES

Remember to remove any accessories like GPS units or lights before leaving your bike.

BELOW ARE SOME ADDITIONAL TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN LOCKING E-BIKES SPECIFICALLY.

PRE-INSTALLED LOCKS

E-Bikes vary drastically by model.  When locking your bike, make sure to lock any installed locking mechanism like a pre-installed battery lock

MONITORS

Many E-Bikes have a monitor, or cyclometer.  Make sure to remove these if possible, and any other easily removable accessories before locking your bike.

BATTERY

If convenient and possible, remove your battery and take it with you.

CHAINS

Often times a chain can be preferable when locking an E-Bike. A chain provides flexibility to ensure you will be able to capture your frame and a wheel, especially when a wheel contains your electric motor.

BELOW ARE SOME ADDITIONAL TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN LOCKING MOUNTAIN BIKES SPECIFICALLY.

ON THE TRAIL

When on a ride, carrying a heavier lock isn’t always an option.  It’s best to keep your bike in sight, and near you at all times when not riding.  Carrying a cable can be helpful, to attach your bike to an immovable object, or another mountain bike, to prevent grab and dash theft, but is only a deterrent.

ON THE TRAILER, BIKE RACK OR TRUCK BED

It is important to lock your bikes while in transport.  With some variation based on travel location, and duration of stop, we recommend using Ultimate Security products when possible.  Make sure to lock to the most immovable object available.  Installing a ground anchor, like the Stronghold, in the bed of a truck or trailer can work as a great immovable object.

AT HOME

Locking your bike at home is crucial, especially with high value mountain bikes. Garage doors are not as secure as you may believe and are easily violated.  We recommend an ultimate security lock to an immovable object.  A ground anchor like the Stronghold can work great as an immovable object.

SOCIAL

Be careful about sharing your riding schedule and bike on public social networks.  Thieves may use social riding apps to watch where a rider with an expensive bike, starts and ends their rides to pinpoint the location of where the bike is stored.  If possible, start and end your rides from varying locations.
