Law enforcement estimates place the number of annual bicycle thefts at nearly 1.5 million. A proper lock can guard against theft and serve as a visual deterrent for would-be thieves. Onguard combination locks allow you to set your own combination. This feature offers you the advantage of selecting a personal combination, and changing that combination as many times as needed or desired.
