Had my previous bike stolen a month ago and finally got my new bike a couple of days ago, a Carrera Subway 1. And whilst it may not need be that expensive at œ200 compared to other bikes I really have become determined not to get this bike stolen. I have 2 decent locks, a solid D-lock with attachment cable and a Magnum cable lock.

A few times I have seen a few nice bikes with black tape around them, covering frame. So earlier today I used a silver metailic paint spray and sprayed over the brand names over the frame. I'm thinking a defaced bike might be less attractive to a thief as it might be harder to sell. What do you think? Well its too late now.

I have the bike insured now also, does anyone now what to do to get it registered with the police is it a case of going with your bike to the police station or is taking the serial number enough?

Any advice would be great?

Thanks
