Locking up a Tryke?
 

Hey all,

Asking this question on behalf of a friend who just purchased an adult tricycle as she has fibromyalgia and can't bare to ride a regular two wheeler. SO, do any of you have tips on locking a tryke up efficiently?

Guide me to another thread or reply with your own advice...thanks in advance :thumb:

Chain the frame to a solid object like a fence or pole

Really? Just a chain? No U-lock with cable to the front tire? I'm guessing the thing to worry about is front tire ?

People worry to much about theft when they should just insure the the trike (it's cheap on your homeowners/renters policy). If locked up in some fashion the insurance company has to pay if stolen.

I say this since all the locks in the world won't keep a determined , or skilled, thief from taking the trike. At least you only have to pay once if insured.

I believe renters/home insurance only covers if it's stolen from home. My friend was more thinking about stores, coffee shops, etc.

+1 Chains and locks only stop the mostly moral. The Determined and prepared thief is going to find a way.

Kryptonite. Hardened , square link chain, [and a beefy padlock]
is going to require a disc grinder to cut.

the square link material resists bolt cutters ,and the tempered steel
is way stronger than Mild steel round link chain.

You could combine it with a U lock if You wish. :thumb:
