Don’t leave your front tire hanging out in traffic. Make sure your bike is firmly planted on its kickstand or center stand and not tipping too much in any direction.

Be friendly with the business owners, residents, and doormen where you park regularly; they’ll be your eyes when you’re not around, and may pass along information to you in case of an incident.
