I use an old Gap bag with the drawstring. I pull the string taut so that
it doesn't fly off - which is why I don't use old grocery bag. I
intentionally do not want to look like I have a great saddle and buy a
saddle cover. I think the thief will go to the bike with the nice saddle
cover.
I like the Abus 210 multi-loop cable lock. Yes, my bike lives indoors, but
many times out riding may want to stop somewhere and go inside. It's a
reasonable compromise between short-term security and weight.

My personal system is a Kryptonite cable run through both the rear wheel
and the saddle rails and then attached to a u-lock. This is if I am locking
my bike up in the city, or leaving it somewhere for more than 15 minutes or
so (I know a bike can be stolen in much less time, but if I'm only
I use Pitlocks on my Quickbeam (seatpost and front wheel) and pack the bolt
head securing the saddle rails with a bearing ball and beeswax.

The beeswax is sticky enough to hold the bearing in place?
How hard is it to get out if needed?
Sounds like a good idea for the seatpost clamp bolt, too.
Thieves would think it is epoxied in there and un-get-outable I
would think.

The pitlock bolt head doesn't go into the seatpost clamp recess for the
bolt head, I think, from a pic I have seen online.
Does it mar the finish when tightened onto the lug?

I used the largest bearing ball that would fit and packed it in the bolt
head with beeswax softened in my hand. The beeswax hardens, darkens with
grime, and generally appears to be glue/epoxy. In three years of parking
the bike outside daily in downtown Denver, I never had any issues. The 2
I think I just packed out the recess for the bolt head with presta value
nuts (or similar) and then installed the Pitlock. IIRC, the tightening nut
for the Pitlock is independent of the housing that contacts the frame, so I
suppose there should be very little, if any, marring.

Not that I've noticed, but I haven't had it off since I put it on - well I
do loosen it a wee bit every so often and turn the seat a bit to make sure
the post hasn't welded to the frame.
To be honest though, even if it did a little damage I probably wouldn't
worry much. I do enough damage to the
I use these things called doors, I lock my bike behind them where bad
people cant reach them. :)

I'm not sure how that works on a daily basis, I think I'd get tired of
hauling a door around everywhere.

Haha, but seriously is it only a NYC thing to use some old bike chain
wrapped in a discarded tube? It can be made to look sort of not ugly. I
think its like the Club for cars-it is a deterrent that makes a thief go

The bike chain thing works well, Cloth Handlebar tape wrapped around it

These are pretty cool and easy to use. A friend started this company.
Not ultra secure but a very simple option that will have most thieves
scratching their noggins.
