I love this advice the best. I bought the same Hexlox products as Armand, and though I’m not in a high-risk area, so far, so good. I started a thread on this topic months ago after Grant wrote a post saying that it’s such a bummer to a maker when he sees his creation relegated to being an orname

Dorothy - Beautiful bike and thanks for the rec on the Nutfix. I had heard of Hexlox and Pinhead but not these from Abus. Those crafty Germans… I’ve also heard of people putting a ball bearing down in the hex bolt divots with a dab of super glue. I guess the theory is that it can be dug out

Armand - Hexlox are a good idea. My locking technique is pretty solid too. Also, not worrying just discussing. It’s not going to keep me up at night it just sort of dawned on me that I was riding a great, but somewhat less enjoyable bike for much of my riding and leaving my favorite bikes at h

J - I like the idea of using the Pitlock skewers or the like. I've just gotten so used to using a cable through my front wheel that it's second nature now. I'm glad you're doing ok with your Chev in the city. On Saturday, December 9, 2023 at 10:07:25 AM UTC-5 J Schwartz wrote: > I've been leav

Leah and others, There are a plethora of cycle-specific products you can find that are designed to hide an airtag. A quick google search produced this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zutcGa73kbM I personally use a generic "tagcozy" silicone holder that I've zip tied underneath the nose

Hello Josh, The advice you've received so far is all good and I'm sure you'll find it to be very helpful. But have you considered asking your employer for secure bike parking? My current employer has bike lockers, locker rooms and showers, and a web page for bike commuters where people shared t
