Bike thefts in my area (Louisville, KY) aren't as common but totally happened to my girlfriend last night. At the moment, we're trying to find ways to keep her Bike safe and secure because that is her main commute to work. We found some great tips on this thread, so thank you! Truly appreciate it. U-Locks are crap, but I will definitely do some research on the Almax. Thank you kinny-pb!
I usually take my bike lock with me when I go out of the house to make sure my bike stays safe. Therefore, I discovered several where to put my bike lock while riding. First, use a rucksack or backpack to contain it. If you do not have a bag, you can lock them around the bicycle frame or you can mount the lock to the top frame or seat post. Another way you can do it is by placing locks on the handlebars. This way, you can keep an eye on them, and at the same time, you can store the lock properly.
