    nope

    Curtin doesn't have an enclosed bike lock up facility nor does ECU (another uni north of the river). I'm going to carry two locks & take my front wheel with me for when I do lock my bike up.

    I have a commuter bike specifically for uni & will be covering it with bicycle stickers so it looks less appealling.

    Why not get non-quick release skewers for your wheels? I have skewers on my commuter that I have to undo with a hex wrench, which I have in my saddle bag anyway. Doesn't take much longer than the QR, really. And I have a hard time imagining a thief taking the trouble to take a hex wrench out when there are all these QR bikes around...

    I'm thinking about getting that even for my road bike so I can quit worrying about someone leaving with my wheels.

    hmm

    I'll ask at a couple of bike shops for the non qr skewers. Hopefully someone in Perth will have some.
