get a pink bike with hello kitty on it and nobody will steal it

except 4th grade little girls and cigarettes

even if you use a super sturdy lock it'll still get cut and your bike stolen if your bike looks really nice, I know this from experience. If you want your bike to not be stolen you need a good U-lock and a stuffty looking bike. You can also greatly reduce the chances by taking your front wheel with you after you lock it but that can be a hassle

bolt cutters ftw - better get something 15mm. or more in width

[Aplem]

I would make some good suggestions but I ride a cruiser motorcycle so unfortunately none of my advice would be useful, best I can offer you is to get a good solid U-Lock and make sure that you keep it in a public spot when you're not riding it.

edit

And one more thing, when you are getting a U-Lock make sure to get one that is more than 15mm in diameter. Only time anybody will be able to cut that is if they either have a welding torch or some industrial-grade bolt cutters.

are any variety of those security skewers any good? i don't know if i want to carry two u locks and definitely not a cable lock with a u lock
if anything i would at least want the allen skewers if it means the quick release goes byebye

so i have a lezyne 400xl and it's a great light other than it having stuff battery on full blast, maybe someone can give me a good recommendation for a similarly bright light that lasts longer

side question:
are bike turning signals practical? i have been looking around online and i found these but i don't know whether it's actually good or a gimmick for a e s t h e t i c

another side question:
fiks: yay or nay

incase ur still lookin for ways to stop those gosh darn mud skins from stealing your bike, attach c4 to the bike

[ßlöükfáce]

so now that i can lock my bike up and be seen at night, i might want to buy a bike bag or two for whatever reason
i might need storage whether it's to hold extra water, tubes, food, or my carrot collection something else
