I thought this link was both informative and entertaining. Hal is quite the hoot. He reminds me of another bike enthusiast I met while living in Seattle. (Hi, Val!)

Hmm, I think I get about a B since I U-lock the frame and rear wheel to a sturdy bike rack and cable the front wheel and frame also to the rack, but my seat has a quick release and isn't locked to the bike. I take everything with me that I don't want to lose (saddle bag, lights, water bottle). However, I'm usually locked next to other bikes that would get about a D so I think I'm an A if we grade on a curve ;)

Thanks for posting that, I enjoyed all three segments on it. We went to that shop a couple years ago, and it's fun to see all the bizarre and grubby bikes parked all over NYC again. Every bike in NYC tells a long interesting story when you look at it carefully- they are often true works of art in their stages of distress, age, and use. :D

I loved this! I, too, watched all three and learned a thing or three. Thanks.
