Unfortunately with this influx of people and bicycle motion, also comes an influx of bicycle thefts.

The past few weeks several people have come into the shop, saying they were in the market for a bike due to a bicycle being stolen.

We here at Superb want to stress the importance of LOCKING UP YOUR BIKES. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!

Look at that variety of locks!!

For the record, the Palmy U-locks in the foreground are super lightweight aluminum SECONDARY locks or locks to be used only for ERRANDS OF RELATIVELY SHORT DURATION DURING THE DAYTIME. These locks are aluminum, and while super cute, and fun they are not strong enough to be left as the only defense for a bicycle in Boston late at night for an extended period of time.

Don’t want to have a large lock holstered to your bike frame? Here are some mini lock options: (from left to right) Abus (German company that we just started stocking), Kryptonite Evolution ( a name that has become synonymous with lock safety amongst the cycling community, this specific lock boasts 9 out of 12 for the Kryptonite security rating) and On Guard Bulldog Lock (3 out of 5 stars).

Kryptonite Lock, Kryptonite Lock with cable (to lock up that front wheel with your bike frame) and On Guard Lock. All of these come with holsters you can attach to your frame so you can cruise around the city free of your bicycle lock in your bag!

We also have some cable and chain options in stock:

Kryptonite cable to secure your wheels that MUST be used with a secondary lock and the Abus chain lock.

Have a safe summer everyone, both on and off your bikes!
