Locking your bike

When the wife and I travel on the bikes obviously there is no sure thing in securing the bikes without having an armed guard so we just try to make it as inconvenient as possible for the thieves.

We bought locks from this place...

On the front we each have this...

The MAX60 is a short shackle motorcycle disc cable U-lock. TRIMAX cable U-locks are simply the strongest short shackle locks you can buy.

The MAX60 is ideal when combined with a TRIMAX cable or chain for securing motorcycles, bicycles, spare tires, ATVs, marine, trailers and much, much more.

Features one key equipped with a mini flashlight
Durable PVC sleeve covers chrome steel shackle to prevent marring and scratching
Hardened solid steel lock prevents prying, sawing and hammer impacts
Tough polymer outer skin absorbs hammer strikes and reduces marring and scratching
Ideal for bicycles, motorcycles, spare tires, trailers, marine and more
Type B key, which is an ultra secure wise wafer key. Lock core design provides the highest degree of protection against picking. Includes 3 keys. One key is equipped with a mini flash light.

At the rear we lock the bikes together THROUGH THE FRAME/SWINGARM with this...
