Correct spelling. WTF 6 character edit limit! "interior" -> "inferior" edit when the semantic difference actually means something in this case. goddam SO... I'm out for another month. Again.

It's a pain to carry around an extra lock just for your seat, but I'd do it if I was regularly in a high-risk area. Of course, any lock can be cut by a sufficiently determined bike thief; it's all about being less valuable and/or less accessible to a thief than the bike next to yours. | |
| Nov 19, 2015 at 0:57 | comment | added | Batman | Quick release removal removes thefts of opportunity (someone walking by and saying "hey, i need a seat" and grabbing it). But, a normal bike thief will carry a small adjustable wrench and hex keys. Seats are easy to lock -- just use a small cable lock to the frame (but the lock can still be cut). | |
