Recommended Accessories

Get a Lock.
You should carry a lock when riding, because it is likely you will be invited to go somewhere. The best all purpose design for a bicycle lock is the mini u-lock. They are stronger than longer u-locks and easier to carry. They are basically as secure as the giant chains - only cuttable by power tools. Great method: Use two locks for twice the security. Keep your bike indoors when not in use. OnGuard = very good, locks both ends of loop. Kryptonite Evolution = well known, Kryptonite New York = more metal.
- OnGuard Bulldog mini u-lock $35 with purchase of bicycle
 
Get Wheel Security.
We strongly recommend securing your wheels. These products work very well. Locking skewers, and the solid-axle nut "wheel locks", they allow you to park your bike easily, without worry for your wheels to be stolen.
Skewers work with multi speed Nucleo and Il Mercante. 
The nut set works with  single speed Monello, Mixte, and Bici Pista.
