As much as you love your bike and want to share photo’s of it with the world on social media. There is simply far too much personal information readily available online these days. Thieves can easily research someone to find out where you live and where you store your bikes. So keep this information to yourself!

Try to work on and wash your bike out of sight also, nothing advertises that you have valuables to steal better than leaving your garage door open for hours while you are tinkering on your bikes. Even loading up for a ride in the mornings, try to minimise the amount of time your bike is in plain view out the front of your house. The less people driving past seeing what you have to steal the better.
