Dublin bicycle users warned: “Spend on a bike lock” or “pay the price”
The Bike Theft Working Group advises the following:
- Use U-locks with the Sold Secure accreditation, silver or gold standard
- Lock your bike at home – more bikes are being stolen from gardens and sheds
- Record your serial number and take a selfie/photo of you with bike
- Don’t buy a bike you think might have been stolen – ask for a receipt
- Always report a stolen bike and give the serial number and photo to gardai
- You can report theft up to value of €500 online at garda.ie
