You Will Need
* A bike
* A fixed object, such as a bike rack
* A U-shaped bike lock
* A cable or chain lock
* A personal identifier
Step 1
Leave your bike in an open area with lots of pedestrian traffic.
Step 2
Secure your bike to a fixed object, such as a bike rack that is bolted to the ground.
Step 3
Lock your bike using the U-shaped lock to secure the frame of your bike to the rack.
Place the lock mechanism face-down so it is not easily accessible.
Step 4
Run a cable or chain lock through both tires and the frame of your bike, securing it to the rack.
Step 5
Engrave your name, or paint a swatch of color, onto the frame of your bike to make it easily identifiable as your property.
Step 6
Register your bike with your local police department and with the National Bike Registry.
Step 7
