I fully agree, I wasn't knocking anybodies method of keeping theire bike secure but it is still a bicycle and can be easily pedaled away with or without a key ignition lock. I may even install one just so that they can't get away any quicker. I also put a lot of effort into my bike and therefore have a 'bond' with it which transcends that of my normal bicycle. As for bike theft I live in South Africa and believe me it is rampant.. Our police have bigger fish to fry and along with ever growing incompetence and indifference, I feel that prevention is the best solution. My bike is locked in my garage, door re-inforced with 0.8mm steel galv plate and alarm (ADT).oliverw123, "complex" is exactly what you want when it comes to bicycle security.
I dont know what you ride, or where you live, but bicycle theft is rampant, the police just dont care and are NOT going to look for your bike.
So it falls to each rider to protect his ride, how much money, time and effort went into building your bike?
Dont you think it just MIGHT be wise to at least make stealing your bike more difficult?
3 different kinds of locks say "move on to some thing easier" to a bike thief.
Maybe you ride a cheap bike and YOU don't care if it gets stolen.
But WE do. Don't make it easy for the thieves just because you don't feel like carrying a key.
Its your bike dude.
