Fun fact: your bike an EASY TARGET for thieves... Especially if it has quick-release levers on the wheels and seat!

You need to replace those quick-releases YESTERDAY.

I'll show you how with Pinhead's bike locking system. We've been using them for YEARS now and they're amazing peace of mind.

These simple upgrades makes it much harder for someone to steal your front wheel or your seat post while you're - let's say - in the grocery store or running errands around the city.

There's a whole set you can get at pinheadbikelocks.com
(I should really get a custom link from them lol. I'd do an Amazon affiliate link, but you need to get the right sizing for your bike's needs! That's probably the hardest part of all.)

Once you do this swap, you can QUICKLY lock your bike up and walk inside without worrying or taking so long that you don't wanna bike anywhere because it's too inconvenient.

So anyway, I'll walk you through the entire installation process for the front wheel and seat post collar. We'll also talk about the back wheel and how to best lock up your bike for quick errands.
