Gear we rate
Tag it, lock it, track it, mark it. Honest picks to protect your bike — we’ve linked each one straight to Amazon.
Tag it
Give your bike an invisible ID that links to your Bike Register profile.
Lock it
Most theft is opportunist — a good lock makes you more trouble than the next bike.
Sold Secure Gold D-lock
A hardened D-lock through the frame and a fixed stand is the strongest simple default. Look for a Sold Secure rating.
View on AmazonHeavy-duty chain lock
Pairs with a D-lock to secure both wheels and defeat a single tool. Great for home or long stops.
View on AmazonLocking wheel skewers
Quick-release wheels are quick to steal. Swap to locking skewers so they stay put.
View on AmazonGround anchor
Bolt one to the shed or garage floor and lock your bike to something that can’t be carried off.
View on AmazonTrack it
A tracker helps you chase; your registration and tag prove and recover.
Mark it
A visible "this bike is marked and traceable" warning is a proven deterrent.
