Re: [TheThinkTank] Bike Theft and Selling Locks

When I was a poor college student, I went to Kmart bought a length of plastic covered chain and a lock. Maybe it was the best lock, but the bike wasn't stolen. One other thing that I do now is I paint my name in neon paint on the bike, it may be ugly, but it does deter theives. work on a campus of 6,000 students, and don't lock my bike up most of the time.

them? The rationale for doing this would be that providing a good-quality low-cost lock to people visiting the shop would reduce the likelihood of having their bike stolen. I see the rampant bike-theft here as one of the common reasons people stop cycling or don't want to invest time or money in their bike.
My questions are, where do you get locks from, and how is the program run? Are their any other initiatives you take to reduce the problem of bike-theft?

Sorry " Maybe the lock wasn't the best, but my bike wasn't stolen" Cost me about $5.00
