“The summer of 2006 has the potential to have a record number of bicycle thefts due to even more people riding their bicycles in an effort to combat rising gas prices,” continued Clifford. “Through this list and Kryptonite’s support of grassroots events nationwide, we hope to alert cyclists to the dangers of leaving their bicycle unlocked or improperly locked. Kryptonite encourages those riders who know how to properly lock their bike to be a ‘good neighbor’ and assist those who may not be as knowledgeable. The correct lock type for your biking area combined with proper lock methods is the best defense against theft.”
