A Quick Bit About Locking Up

Our blog has moved! Check out this post on the new home of our blog here:

I have been working in bikes shops for over 15 years now, and one of the things I hear quite a bit is, “I just got my bike stolen.”
This sucks. The people who steal bikes suck even more.
I used to use a mini u-lock, a set of Pitlocks for my wheels, and call it good. Recently, that has become not good enough. So I beefed up security.

Now it is two locks, an ABUS mini and chain, plus some Pitlock wheel locks.

Rus's Stolen All-City Big Block

Getting your bike stolen sucks, no matter how it happens, your baby is gone. Taken from you by some douche bag, and now forever, your baby is tainted by douche bag hands. Bah.

This day the douchey hands that grab, grabbed Rus's bike from the trunk of his ladies car.

Lame.

Here is a picture of his All-City Big Block

and here is a description of it:

Size 56cm
Handlebars are different than photo,
They are Cinelli Valencia bars, kind of a bendy riser bar
Velocity Fusion Rims with Halo reflective coating
All City Black track hubs
Front wheel laced radially
Surly tugnut
Schwalbe Ultremo Tire 700x23 Front
Schwalbe Durano Skid 700x25 Back
Sram Omnium Crankset
Izumi Super Toughness chain
Black track pedals with white double straps
Paul Racer brake with Paul e-lever
Thomson stem, Thomson seatpost
Fizik arione saddle, carbon rails (black with white stripe)
Black waterbottle cage. incredibell, black label grips.

Seatpost has a pitlock on it, and rear wheel has a blinky white light valve cap.
