What does this mean for us? Well, if you live in one of these places you obviously need to be especially careful with your bike security! But it also suggests that wherever you live, if there’s lots of cyclists, there’ll be lots of bike crime. So if you look around you and see loads of people on bicycles, there’s probably loads of people you can’t see that want to steal those bicycles! So make sure you’re protecting your bike properly. This means buying the best bike lock you can afford and making sure you know how to use it. The great thing is that getting a decent lock and using it properly will make a real difference. I came across an interesting article when I was researching this post. Essentially it illustrates how effective simple bike security can be… The top ten US cities for bike theft list comes from Kryptonites own research. For years New York had topped the list as the very worst city in the US for bike crime. However, in recent years it has started to slip, settling at third in the last list that Kryptonite released. How come? Well, according to this article it was just a case of the people of New York wising up. They’ve realised that they need to spend a bit of money on a decent lock, learn how to secure their bike properly and lock it every time they leave it. It’s as simple as that. And it’s as simple as that for everyone else too. Find a lock with the right level of protection for your area, make sure it suits your lifestyle, learn how to use it properly and use it every time you leave your bike. The chances are your bike won’t be stolen!

The Royal Enfield Classic 350 is the second product based on Royal Enfield’s J-series platform. It gets the same 349cc, air-cooled single-cylinder engine as the Meteor 350. That said, the state of tune is slightly different. While it makes the same power and torque as the Meteor 350 at 20.2PS at 6100rpm and 27Nm at 4000rpm, it gets new fuel mapping that changes the way the power is fed, making it an easygoing bike. The Classic 350 gets a 13-liter fuel tank and tips the scales at 195kg kerb. The Royal Enfield Classic features a 41mm telescopic fork and a twin rear shock absorber suspension setup. Braking is done via a 300mm disc up front and a 270mm rear disc brake, with Bybre axial calipers. It rolls on a 19-inch front and an 18-inch rear wheel, wrapped in 90-section and 120-section tyres. For better ride comfort, the Classic 350 gets a redesigned rider and pillion seat with thicker padding. The handlebar sits taller, offering a more upright riding posture.
