Among the tips are using a security approved chain and lock, ideally fixed to a ground anchor – using multiple devices significantly reduces the risk of the theft.

GPS trackers with real-time alerts can be installed so if bikes are stolen they can be tracked and recovered quickly.

Riders should park in well-lit, monitored or CCTV-covered areas wherever possible.

People should avoid leaving their bike in isolated or predictable locations.

Motorcycle covers can deter opportunistic thieves by obscuring the make and model and alarmed disc locks provide an additional deterrent.
