WayneBT Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 My heart sank reading the title alone. Did he have the thru bolt on the One Up or any locks? I'm paranoid now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_papa_nuts Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 How was the bike secured? It be interesting and helpful to know what kind of trouble these thieves are willing to go through to get our bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rack is also locked to my hitch. I actually saw this last night and thought it could probably be incorporated into the 1Up. (Patent Pending). It's a lock that GMBN showed on their Hacks and Bodges segment. A guy was using it to secure his bike in a panel van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack_turtle Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I don't mean to blame the victim here, but in a vast majority of cases I hear about, the victim left the bike unlocked and unaccompanied "just for a minute." Please learn from this, folks: if you leave your bike for "a minute," the lowlife watching your bike will have it for at least 55 seconds before you notice it's gone. This was a rare case. Most bikes are never recovered. Lock your shit up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Magnet Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I carry a spare cable lock to lock the bike to my 1Up. The rack is also locked to my hitch.

A guy was using it to secure his bike in a panel van. I saw a rack like this in the parking lot of BSS off 183 a few year ago. It held the bike and locked it using the scorpion like bike stand approach. It was cool but I didn’t get close enough to get the details.In the bike theft, glad he got his bike back. IMO, this was obviously not a seasoned thief of anything.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy was using it to secure his bike in a panel van. I used the 1UP wheel locks and then add an extra cable if I am going to be gone a while or if the bike is too far out of sight: If I am leaving it for a really long period of time or am on a road trip, I do the wheel locks and a heavy lock/cable that locks to the rack and the car hitch.
