Taking Bikes and Locking Them Up

During our many years of motorhome vacations, and with 8 children, we always traveled with a bunch of bikes. I can gladly say, we never had a problem with theft, although we did lock the bikes at night. Remember, chains and locks protect you from honest people who have a sudden lose of conscience. A thief will have a lock cutter or a battery cutoff tool and will be gone in moments. Therefore, in my mind, running a simple chain through all the bikes with a lock is the basic night time security. Individual locks and chains can be added for daytime bike rides where the bikes will be left parked during activities.
