[RBW] Re: Would you store/park your Riv in one of these?

I parked my Quickbeam in a steel bike locker at Ashby BART for several years. I never worried about anyone stealing my bike - principally because there were so many other bikes nearby in racks that were much easier targets (cheap lock, etc.). Now that I think about it, the locking mechanism on all

Even though this thread is old, I find myself thinking about this question, i.e., Would You? when I am out riding. Thus, I took some pics recently: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/111838829033930119881/albums/5669475288427885009 These are lockers installed and maintained by Metro Transit in

That locker is more weatherproof than my 90 year old garage, where my bikes are, so I'd agree that it's no problem. One advantage of lockers is that thieves don't know what is in them, or even if there's anything in them at all. I would keep a lock on it even when empty so there is no clear

I might consider one of these lockers as well. Perhaps I'd paint the word TRASH on there so thieves would think it is a house for my garbage cans. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To post to this group, send email to

If I do go through with it, I will most likely get one that holds two bikes and my husband and I will use both spots. He also has a nice bike, so security of the locker is key. This will also help clear up some prime real estate within our condo unit, which is quite small as it is. If he

Wow, Rick, small world! Lots of people come and go through the Gaither. It's interesting to hear their stories. I am probably going to put it on the far end of my own parking spot, away from the street. At night, it would be impeded by our car, but by day, I guess a truck could come by and

Wow, good leg-work on your part! My condo association would never agree to that. my only concern would be humidity and condensation. Maybe that's not a big deal with a bicycle, and bicycles are made to be used/worn out, so i say go for it if you can't deal with lugging it in and out.

It comes down to which locker. I would lock my Rivendell in the very nicest bike lockers I have seen. I would absolutely not park my Rivendell in the worst bike lockers I have seen. The best bike lockers are as good or better than parking your bike in your home. The worst bike lockers are

I rent a bike locker at work, same brand as you reference. It's great - I have no concerns whatsoever about the security of my rivish Resurrectio. I don't know what you're capital outlay for a locker like this would be, but note that each locker can hold two bikes, one from each end. If you can
