A rash of recent bicycle theft in Boulder has been in the news lately. A reported 28 secured bicycles were taken off bike racks and another 13 bike thefts or attempted thefts from garages around town have been reported since May 1. Think of all the other bike thefts that have gone unreported, too! City Lock would like to remind you of the importance of securing your bicycle with reliable hardware -- even when kept in a garage!
Police recommend using heavy duty chain to secure your bike, but who lugs that around in their messenger bag? City Lock recommends a high quality U-Lock, like Kryptonite or Master Lock. These reliable locks are resistant to prying and cutting and are compact enough to stash in your bag or backpack.
We have a variety of U-Lock models available at our 30th St. location, and we're offering you a $5 discount on any of our Master or Kryptonite brand U-Locks! (click here to print the coupon)
