Bike jackings don’t start with violence.
They start with hesitation, surprise, and lost momentum.

In Episode 3 of Anti-Bike Jacking in London, we break down the real seizure tactics used by bike jackers on UK roads — not rumours, not scare stories, but practical methods riders actually encounter.

This episode covers:
• Key snatches
• Kill-switch hits
• Gear selector jams and forced stalls
• Handlebar grabs
• Rucksack grabs
• Box-ins and pincer approaches
• Tap-and-rush distractions
• Fake accidents
• Swarm tactics
• Mirror intimidation
• Following a rider home

For each tactic, we explain:
– What they do
– Why it works
– What countermeasures you realistically have as a rider

The goal isn’t fear.
It’s familiarity.

Because once you recognise these tactics, they lose their power.
