Parking the bike on long rides

[Crankin]

My road bike is also just used for rides. But, sometimes these rides involve lunch or coffee. I would never use my baby for shopping, though.

When I don't have a lock, I remove the front wheel and leave the bike in plain sight from the inside and bring the wheel in with me.

My expensive bike does not go anywhere except for rides. And its stored inside my house not in the garage. I don't use it to run errands with it. It doesn't get parked even with a lock in public places.

i am planning to get a cheap bike for errands soon and do this. i will still lock my bike up to use the bathroom though when i am on long rides
