   2. Record it: Upload details of your bike including the frame number, Bike Register number, other distinguishing features and a photo to www.bikeregister.com.
   3. Lock it: Use 2 different types of locks of Diamond ‘Sold Secure’ standard, with at least one being a high quality D-lock. The Diamond Sold Secure standard is the highest level of certification available, offering superior protection against theft.
   4. Secure it: Make the locks on the bike hard to manoeuvre by securing your bike as close to the stand as possible. Always use secure cycle parking that is well lit and covered by CCTV.
   5. Remove it: Easily removed parts like saddles and wheels should be taken with you. If your bike has been stolen, contact the police and your campus security team. Give them your frame number, Bike Register number, photo and any other details and register your bike as stolen on www.bikeregister.com.

For more information on securing your bike and to verify your lock, visit the Sold Secure website.

Maintaining a bicycle can be costly and time consuming. By providing bicycle workshop space and facilities, we want to encourage cyclists at King’s to share their knowledge and time, while King's provides the tools. Knowing the basics of bicycle maintenance makes for a safer cycling experience.
