- DON’T lock your bike to itself, or to objects that can be easily cut.
- DON’T lock your bike in the same area all the time.
OTHER HELPFUL TIPS

- Register the combination number or key number with the lock company. Kryptonite will provide your combination number and offers lifetime key registration and fast key replacement services.
