So my dilemma: I bought my eBike to help me get around the city, because I don’t have a car and our transit has been going downhill since the pandemic.

HOWEVER, I keep hearing how awful bike thefts are here, and the only way to keep my bike safe is to never let it out of my sight. Which severely limits the types of errand I can use it for.

So — how do you keep your bike safe? Insurance? Alarm? System of expensive locks? Never leave it unattended? Have you ever had your bike stolen? Anything you wish you’d done differently?

    I’ve heard of a guy that used a quick release on the front wheel, locked the bike up and took the front wheel with him in stores. Sort if a weird dude but never had his bike stolen

      I’ve definitely considered taking the battery and/or seat with me, but carrying around the wheel is one I hadn’t considered!
