u-lock. kryptonite or whatever. lock front wheel up with frame, or take off front wheel and put front wheel next to back one, lock front, back and frame between seat/chain stays. dont lock in back alleys where there’s no traffic and someone could cut your shit without being seen you can usually get a bar code from local police? and put it on the bottom of the downtube near the crank ---

I’m thinking that a cheap DD is the way to go. I’ll run through the numbers tomorrow for insurance+locks+etc. vs a beater bike. ---

I have a couple bikes, a 600 dollar gary fisher hard tail and a 3k Specialized road bike. I wouldn’t even consider locking up and leaving my gary fisher because people are stupid and vandalize shit. It’s a nice bike, and I want to keep it that way. With that being said, my vote would be for a beater bike. I’m sure there are some good deals to be had on craigslist. ---

There is a guy on Utube that has videos of him breaking every kind of bike lock out there in seconds. Don’t ride a $1k bike to class, buy something you can easily secure so no one strolls off with it and call it a day. ---

> [@Quattro Krant](#): > > I’m laughing at people who think $1000 is an expensive bike. $1000 is a set of wheels for a bike. lol I used to have a titanium spoked front wheel on my geared bike. shit was $1300, I was paranoid having it quick release though I’m still overly cautious with my fixed gear even. it’s probably ~$1500 when you factor buying the bike then all the extras, and I still only lock in certain places, lock front wheel as well, etc [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/additional-bicycle-security-ideas/78665.md?page=2)
