    How do you secure your saddle?

    Now that I finally have a decent saddle, I'd like to make sure it doesn't get stolen. Anyone have recommendations? I'm in NYC so theft is a real possibility. I've researched and observed what others do, but I'd welcome any comments or advice.

    For the moment, I still have the quick release on so it's easy to simply take the saddle with me. I don't think I want to do that forever, though.

    My Kryptonite u-lock came with a cable. I loop that through the seat rails and then to the u-lock.
    I don't even have a quick release but I do have a Brooks and I sure don't wan to lose that.

    Like Zen, I run a cable lock through the seat rails. (Actually, I run the cable through the seat rails and through the front wheel so both items are secured.)

    In NY, I would definately take the saddle in with me. In NY a cable lock is like tying it with a string. Also if it has no seat it would be harder to steal .

    NY and NYC are very different places.
    Which is it, Pam?

    Around here any saddle with a quick release gets stolen, even a complete POS.
