Making a College bike Inconspicuous?

We should not have to go to such extremes and to ride garbage. What would car owners say if that's what they had to do to their cars, simply to make them workable transportation devices? Agree, if people didn't steal, we wouldn't have to go through this. -tom That's not the problem. Bicycles are still thought of as children's toys in America. A large percentage of the population only know what Huffys are, and have only heard of those $5000 bikes... To the average joe, bicycle theft is hardly a problem, so no solution needs to be formed. -- Phil, Squid-in-Training It shouldn't matter what the item is, why steal? I used to commute by bicycle to work, taking the train. I found a wallet on top of the USA paper machine early in the morning. It had all the ID's, credit cards, and $1,620 in cash. I returned everything back to the owner. He offered me a reward, I shook his hand, told him no reward. He said he was also a cyclist, so I told him, "from one cyclist to another." I've also seen fancy bicycles unlocked at restaurants or orther establishments, no one in sight, perhaps they forgot to lock their bikes. I won't touch them, but thinking I hope others do the same if they're not the owner. -tom |
