7 Sure-Fire Ways to Protect Your Bike in Boston
- Have a bike that doesn’t attract attention. (No fancy road bikes, ghetto stickers are a plus)
- Use a U-lock (anything else is ludicrous, and a u-lock is fast)
- Everything should be bolted on. (No quick release anything)
- Pay attention to what you are locking on to (one of my bikes was stolen by breaking the bike rack.)
- Don’t marry your bike. (When your bike is stolen, your mind set should be, “sweet, I get a new bike!”)
- Buy a cheap bike. (I picked up a schwinn cutter, new for $300 at bicycle bill’s)
- Shop at a good bike shop, such as Bicycle Bill (They know good tips and don’t bitch when you ask to have them swap out your quick release.)
