I recently moved to the Buffalo area from California and am constantly amazed at how people lock their bikes (or don't lock their bikes). For the most part they are rarely locked with the front wheel and frame secure. Most often it is just the front wheel secure. If the frame and wheel are secure then it is only with the flimsiest of locks. Coming from California that would be like asking someone to "pretty please" take my bike. Since I did pay so much for my bike I lock the wheel and frame with a U-lock from Kryptonite and a cable from Kryptonite holds my seat post on. Even if I'm just stopping in for lunch or grabbing something from the store I double lock.
