If some a$$hole wants your bike, you are going to lose your bike. Nothing can stop a thief, except maybe people (or high speed lead poisoning).Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301821696895686537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198843833237575122.post-16977353800159032502008-05-09T10:12:00.000-06:002008-05-09T10:12:00.000-06:00Oh my! That's quite a picture. I've been thinking ...Oh my! That's quite a picture. I've been thinking a lot about bike security recently. We're not a high-crime area here in Boise, Idaho, but I still wonder. I'm also fortunate enough to park inside at work, but I park outside plenty of other times. I use a U-lock and extension cable to get both wheels, but my seat and rear rack are never locked up. And seeing the cut U-lock in your picture here is alarming! It seems like a bit of overkill to spend $100 on the New York-level locks from Kryptonite, but at the same time, I keep thinking that $100 could one day save me replacing nearly $1000 if my bike wandered away. It's an investment I might just make.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198843833237575122.post-83526680776090595792008-05-09T09:59:00.000-06:002008-05-09T09:59:00.000-06:00OK, we don't live in NYC, but check this out:http:...OK, we don't live in NYC, but check this out:<BR/>http://gothamist.com/2006/07/14/video_of_the_da_27.php<BR/><BR/>These guys lock up their bike, come back later and steal it on video.

I had to go to 2 NAPA's no bike racks. At the first one I locked to a Handicap sign and the second I couldnt lock anywhere.Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09198204833535175807noreply@blogger.com
