Spend money on good locks. No lock is totally thiefproof - but the more you spend, the better it will be. Spend about 20% of the value of your bike on locks. There are many different types.
Always lock your bike-even if you are only leaving it for a minute. Leave it in as public a place as possible. Lock it where you can see it-or where lots of other people can. If you're just having a break, lock it up nearby to where you are sitting down. Make sure it is tied to an immovable object.
Most importantly, make sure to tag(加标签) your bike in different places. If stolen, the thief will probably remove the tags he easily sees.
