I have a bike locking theory that I use with my ugly but very nice old Ritchie converted hybrid. I figure that true bike thieves are cruising around prepared to defeat state-of-the-art locking methods. Currently, those methods involve U-locks. So I lock mine with a simple cable lock and padlock. I figure it's unlikely that a thief will be prepped to defeat both U-locks *and* cables. In a sense, I feel safer than if I had locked with a U-lock. Plus, I save alot of weight. Anyone concur or object to this theory? -- ------------------ Bob Dickman dickman@netcom.com
