PROPER LOCK-UP BICYCLES

PRACTICE PROPER LOCKING TECHNIQUES! WHILE A FOLDING BIKE HAS MANY UNIQUE FEATURES, THE FOUNDATION OF PROPER LOCK-UP STILL APPLIES. PLEASE LOOK TO OUR STANDARD BICYCLE LOCK-UP TAB FOR TIPS ON LOCKING PROCEDURE, AS WELL AS LINKS TO HELP YOU FIND THE RIGHT LOCK.

BELOW ARE SOME ADDITIONAL TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN LOCKING FOLDING BIKES SPECIFICALLY.
