All About Bike Locks

Executive summary abaut bike lock by Joseph Devine

All abaut bike loks. No one wants to have their bike stolen. As such, it is important to know all about bike locks as a theft deterrent.

Bike locks are physical security devices that are used on bicycles to prevent theft. They fasten bikes to a bike rack, bike stand, or other immovable object. Unfortunately, for all of the innovations in bike locks over the years, there is still difficulty in securing a bike adequately. The most secure method of locking a bike involves locking the wheels and frame together and then to an immovable object. It's important to check that the immovable object to which the bike is locked is not short enough that the bike can be simply lifted over the top.

Locks vary in size and security. This protects not only the bike from theft but also anything else that might be on the bike.

Locking Your Bicycle

Mountain bikes can be used for trail riding, road bikes can be used for racing or distance riding, cruisers can be used for leisure rides, but every bike has something in common with every other bike. If you use your bicycle as a mode of transportation, it is important to have a bike lock. On top of that, it is important to have a good bike lock. While any lock will deter the average person from stealing your bike, you need a good lock to ward off the people who are out to steal your bike. When you lock your bike to a bike rack, you should make sure that your frame and front wheel are both secured to the rack. This is the safest way to lock your bike with a single lock.

Best Mountain Bikes

The Best Mountain Bikes Available Today

Executive summary abaut best mountain bike by Silmon Salwan

As a keen mountain biker, I am always looking for the best mountain bikes available. I have bought countless (well must be at least 10) mountain bikes over the years, and whenever I am looking to add to my collection or upgrade one of my bikes nowadays, I don't rush into it. Main reason for this is getting stung on the past, when I choose a new mountain bike and one for my wife, from a local specialist store.

I wanted to get my wife into mountain biking, but she didn't have a bike, or any experience. It does vary, but some of the best brands are Kona, Specialized, Marin, Trek, GT, Cannondale, Mongoose and Gary Fisher.

These days you can get many different kinds of bikes to suit all ages/sizes/styles and preferences. I am soon to start looking for a kids mountain bike for my boy. And hopefully (funds permitting) a new bike for my wife that she will be much more comfortable on.
