Kryptonite has created an offer of anti-theft protection associated with all its locks (ATPO). This is a programme created in 1978 that reimburses a specific amount to customers registered to the programme if their bike has been stolen by opening or breaking the lock. ATPO is not a bicycle insurance and is not subject to any insurance company. The offer is made by Kryptonite.

Kryptonite is possibly the most relevant padlock brand in the world thanks to its wide selection of anti-theft devices and because of the extreme quality they give to all their products allowing protection for all bicycles. There are different types according to each need: U-locks, cables, chains, combination locks, etc. All this has given the brand numerous awards and has allowed it to distribute its locks, both for bikes and motorcycles, from its headquarters in Canton (Massachusetts, USA) to the whole world.

We at Santafixie recommend the use of professional padlocks. It is better to invest in a good lock than to regret the theft of your bike. At least one U-shaped lock, and even better: two (one for the frame and rear wheel and another for the frame and front wheel). This way it is practically impossible for your bike to be stolen.
