Bikmo’s Top Tips for Locking Your Bike
-
Use a Sold Secure Rated Lock: Bikmo mandates the use of Sold Secure Gold or Diamond locks for their policies. Sold Secure is the premier testing and certification organization for security products, and their ratings serve as the minimum requirement for securing your bike while away from home.
- How to Lock It Correctly:
- Secure to a Solid Object: Always lock your bike to a secure, immovable object like railings or bike hangers.
- Lock Through the Frame: Avoid locking your bike by the wheel, especially since many bikes have quick-release wheels. Always lock through the frame.
- Position Matters: Ensure the lock is positioned where thieves can’t use leverage or force to break it. Consider using an additional cable lock through the saddle rails to prevent saddle and wheel theft.
Check out Bikmo’s locking requirements video and detailed guide for more information.
- What Type of Lock to Use:
- D Locks: Often the best choice due to their strength, reliability, and portability. They fit easily into a backpack or can be clipped onto the bike. For e-bikes with thicker frames, ensure the lock’s measurements are compatible.
- Recommended Locks: e-bikeshop offers wearable Hiplok Chain Locks and Kryptonite D locks.
Why Consider Bicycle Insurance?
While many home insurance policies may offer some coverage, they often fall short in key areas:
- Maximum Value: Many policies have a low maximum insured value, often around £500.
- Away from Home Coverage: Bikes are frequently considered ‘abandoned’ after a few hours away from home, limiting coverage.
- Premium Increases: Claims can lead to increased premiums.
- High Excess Costs: Excess fees can make claims not worth the trouble.
- Lack of Personal Accident Cover: Most home policies don’t include this.
Bikmo addresses these issues with straightforward, comprehensive policies that cover you worldwide, 24/7.
