Bike lights and bike locks recently conducted police checks for cyclists in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg, which showed that a number of bikes have no sufficient lighting. Firstly, there were failures, how about replacing lost reflectors for the wheels. However, it was striking that many failures on the ignorance of the owner are due. Therefore you shouldn't in any case check yourself regularly his bike and, where appropriate, consult. A good bike shop makes fit again for the road also, technically competent each bike. Enlightened you will among other things, that a light on the back of each bike is duty about for years. Often, inappropriate lighting are sold in bike shops. Clip-on lights, as almost every bike shop leads them, hardly a bike shop of which are approved only for wheels under a certain weight class, what informed.

Therefore you should also not afraid scare customers actively request a consultation. Although the police in lighting, which is actually not allowed usually a blind eye, it harms the security, but if the battery tend to go and this will no longer be tolerated. Who shy away from the "sluggish" Dynamo, who will find the solution in the dynamo of scars, which can be operated without effort. Here, too, a reliable bicycle workshop in the retooling of the bike to the appropriate price can help. Each year more than 300,000 bikes are stolen in Germany. For this reason one assumes also that some professional gangs are, specialising in the stealing and trading of bicycles. Unfortunately there still thieves much for made easy! Because the removal of a bicycle is not a big problem in most cases.

Actually, it is only a matter of time. Often, the thieves can steal the wheel after a few seconds, even when locked the wheel with a lock is. This is possible in cheaper castles, often using side-cutters. To protect themselves against the brazen theft, you should visit a competent bike shop or a bicycle repair shop. There customers are usually good, in particular also advise when it comes to the creation of a secure lock. Break up each castle is actually. It is only a question of the appropriate Werkzeigs. But more solid Castle, the less likely the removal. If thieves namely long time need to break a lock, even more wahrschinlicher it is that they don't even try. Who wants to protect themselves against the theft could take out special insurance. But should ensure that this worthwhile mostly only for expensive bicycles. What many don't know, by the way: in frequent cases home insurance covers the costs in case of a bicycle theft.
