So joy to me. My car got broken into a few nights ago. Stupid crooks took my honda airbag. Nice right? Smashed window and a missing airbag. I hope that thing deploys in their face... Anyway, that's beside the point...
I'm in DC and going to be leaving my bike at the metro stations around town during the day. They're busy areas so I'm not too worried about it being left where there aren't people. However, I've got 3 locks for my bike. 1 a cable lock that is primarily going to be used to lock my seat to the frame since I don't have a lock bolt. 2nd lock is a masterlock that will lock the rear hub to the frame, 3rd is a kryptonite U lock for the tires/frame with a cable also. I'm bringing the battery with me so that's safe.
My best thought of deterrent is going to be spray painting the bike to look like crap... It's a 2002 steel frame trek 800. Probably not worth next to anything. I've got a cheap $35 zoom suspension fork on the front...still thinking if I spray paint the crap over the bike and make it look beat to Shaheen it'll be safe to leave virtually anywhere. Thoughts???
Seriously considering getting rid of my honda. What's the point of an alarm when criminals can smash your window and no alarm goes off?
