How Should I Store My Bicycle Lock?
A bicycle lock is designed to withstand the elements. When in use, the lock is typically threaded through a bicycle rack and the bicycle’s frame. Bike locks help keep thieves from stealing your valuable two-wheeled transportation. When the lock is not in use, there are many options for safe and proper storage. Check the lock to make sure it is unlocked and all parts are together. Spray down the lock barrel and moving parts with the dry lubricant every two or three months to keep the lock working properly. Spray this on before placing it into a storage area. Find a storage location that’s easy to remember, and store the bicycle lock here consistently. The lock is designed to withstand abuse, so it can be stored in a closet, on a window sill or any other place of your choosing. Find a location out of the sun if storing the lock outside. Ultraviolet rays may fade or break down the rubber casing on the lock.
