Bike security while cruising….. or anywhere

Unfortunately, bike theft is a reality of life. While cruising we have used a steel cable security lock but recently I have seen how easily these are cut using pocket sized ratcheting cable cutters.

We decided to upgrade our bike security to the Kryptonite model 785.  They are relatively inexpensive at $30….and come with a theft protection plan that will replace your bike or motorcycle if the lock is defeated or cut.

here’s a link where you can get yours…..

I'm the average sailor...converted from a landlubber of course. While I was born with a love of the ocean it has evolved into a love of sailboats and other vessels that ply the open seas and connected waterways. I am probably like most of the people who (hopefully) will read our blog with the exception that we are now doing what we always dreamed of doing and I hope to help others do the same. I am NOT any of the following...a naval architect, a marine surveyor or connected commercially to any builder, distributor or boat sales organization. My opinions are generally my own, although influenced by many years of research.

One thought on “Bike security while cruising….. or anywhere”

  1. Great to know, thanks. One thing we learned to is to take pictures of things you have onboard, especially equipment, tools, electronics, etc. After Hurricane Maria most boats were broken into and we needed to prove to the insurance company that we had these items onboard the boat. Pictures were the best thing to have for that.
