Why not just take the front wheel or the saddle or both with you? From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott Henry Sent: Friday, October 21, 2016 11:25 AM To: Riv List Subject: Re: [RBW] Taking Risks
What I generally do anytime that I am leaving the bike without a lock (which I rarely carry) is just prevent it from being ridden off. I'll do some combination of loosening all the QR levers, intentionally overshift to drop the chain off the big ring and generally wrap a toe strap around a crank arm or stays/spokes. Someone can still grab the bike and toss it in the truck, but most bike thefts are ride-off crimes of opportunity. If they grab it from the rack and the front wheel falls off or they can't pedal away, hopefully they'll grab something else. People don't steal your bike because its anything special, people steal bikes because they are easy to take.

I'm here only for an hour or two to volunteer in my son's 2nd grade class. I have no choice but to leave The Best Bike in the World unlocked in the rack in front of the school office. TBBITW is finally set up exactly the way I've always dreamed - Big Nitto Front Rack, Big Nitto Back Rack, baskets and bags galore, and all the other accoutrements. It would be a crying shame to lose it now. All I can think about is this week's post from The Bike Snob about his stolen bike - which he left at HIS son's school! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
