Wheels with quick-releases are not covered if a thief can simply undo the quick-release to remove them, leaving the rest of your bicycle behind. To secure your wheels, you should make sure the lock passes through the wheel, frame, and immovable object. Some D-locks come with extra cables attached to them. These “accessory” cables are NOT rated by Sold Secure, and should not be used to secure your wheels (or bike). If a thief can steal your wheels by cutting this cable without cutting the Sold Secure lock, your wheels would not be covered by the policy.  Bicycles can be left securely unattended for a maximum of 18 hours at a time. If a bicycle is left for more than 18 hours, it is no longer covered for theft.
