Between the hours of 4 pm and 7:30 pm.
from: Home/property on 15th ave s. and McClellan on beacon hill. Left it outside for a a bit after going for a good sunday ride with a friend. I became distracted by my roomates m'f'ing dishes ... i doubt the person who took it couldn't actually ride away with it finally noticed it missing silly fucking me.
i ride this bike every day to work in Columbia city from beacon hill and around the city so, primarily capitol hill, downtown, u dist., i'm hoping any of ya'll might recognize it!

It sounds like we need to have a club purchase on back pocket locks.
Anytime ya'll want to do a bulk (10 or more) of a necessity item, I would give a deal (employee purchase) to help out. I am tired of hearing of stolen bikes and a Kryptonite lock is really the ONLY way to stop a thief.
Has anyone ever heard of a bike being stolen (or had one) when it was locked with a Kryptonite?

I need another lock. I'll go in on a purchase for 1, maybe 2 depending on the price. The most vivid nightmares(?) I've had lately are of someone stealing my bike.

I'd consider picking one up if y'all put together a bulk purchase; it might be nice to have an alternative to my 8 pound New York Chain.

The lock I am talking about is the Kryptonite Evolution Mini U-lock 3"x5.5" w/bracket. $35 (that is my cost plus a little to cover shipping and handling) MSRP is $60
Total with tax is $38.08. Call it $38 If you want one send me a check or give me cash on a ride (give me the cash in an envelope with your name, address and phone. When I get 5 payments I will order the locks. (Quantity break pricing starts at 5).

So has anyone had problems with wheels getting stolen but not the whole bike? These mini locks are nice and compact but it seems you are lucky if you can find a secure locking post that you can get your top tube locked too. Wouldn't getting your frame and the rear wheel (the two most expensive bike parts), locked to something be better? Like with the Mini LS, it is only 1/2 a pound more. (2.3 vs 1.8)
Aaron is the discount only for identical products?

The mini is perfect for the rear wheel and frame to a pole and leaves no room for a hydraulic jack. I will sometimes throw a cable around the front wheel too just for added security, but, as you said, the frame and rear wheel are the most expensive and easiest to protect with the mini-u-locks.

LS locks make more sense to me because you can lock both wheels. However, the Mini is what all the cool kids carry in thier back jeans pocket.
Either way, I need an order of 5 of one or the other (cannot combine) to get the special pricing.
The Mini LS is 2 dollars more.

no joke, i want this one to do this with. i bought the ls after getting my shit jacked, but sometimes if i'm just going a short distance (i.e. to go get high somewhere or sth) it seems silly to bring a bag to keep that thing in. fashionable and convenient security!
People tend to buy the big clunky U-locks because they don't know how to use them properly. A U-lock should go around the rear rim and tire, somewhere inside the rear triangle of the frame. There is no need to loop it around the seat tube as well, because the wheel cannot be pulled through the rear triangle.

Yeah that is useful, but it would still be had to get a front wheel in there without a longer shackle. I've applied the strategy of leave a heavy U lock at work and carry a lighter cable lock for quick stops. I guess I am most particular about where I leave my bike.

Well, considering my front wheel is bolt on, I worry a little less about it (probably a mistake eventually) but I also rarely leave my bike locked for too long anywhere.

The longest my bike is parked anywhere is at home or at work, at home they stay inside. Sometimes I bring my bike in the back at work but it is a hassle and against 'building policy'
I've got a dynohub on one bike which makes it a rae exception where the front wheel is worth more than the rear.

One of the perks of working in academia is that (a) I have an office, (b) I can park my bike in my office, and (c) no one finds that the least bit strange.

i think once i get rid of this damn server rack in my cubicle i'm totally going to start parking my bike in here again. it seems unkind to leave it outside exposed to the elements when it treats me so well!
Accepted yes, legal no. I brought my nicer bikes inside when I was at the UW. My officemates loved when all my wet bike stuff was laid out on the radiator.

Hear hear! It kinda blocks my door if I ride the grocery bike with big panniers, but the normal commuter is smaller.

I guess it would go for dorms as well, but I never had a problem as a resident, never got carded either. I never kept the Zed outside, I rolled it in and took the elevator, catching it on lowest level helped though.

One of those respectable bike clubs with lobbyists and shit should get this bit of code changed. Yeah, you can stupidly park your bike in front of a fire exit, but in a private or sem-private office it oughta be allowed, nay encouraged (particularly if the building doesn't have a bike room). Allowing bikes to be parked overnight (which the WAC also disallows) makes bike commuting more flexible, and also ought to be encouraged.
I've been hassled for bringing my bike into my office, but they were really griping about the Burley Trailer (which isn't prohibited) scuffing up the walls. I picked my office partly because I knew I could park my bike and trailer in it.

I lived in Lander & Terry and never had problems with my bike, unless I was working on it in a public space other than our floor lounge (which is all bunks now, I hear) This was back in 98-99, so I'm sure things have changed. We didn't even have high speed internet in Lander.
and these days, it is allowed to park my bike in a common area of my department. The office won't pay for the bike parking in the basement, so they let us park up here. The carpets suck anyways.

Bicycles shall be parked in designated areas in racks.

Word. That's the nice thing about working with schizophrenics too. They don't think anything is strange. So I lean my bike up alongside the executive director's desk, like this!

The only thing I can add to this technique is to put the key crossbar area of the lock in a harder place to pick/drill. Flip it around.
Also, it isn't a big deal to take your front wheel with you.

Well, I do know at least one person who had his rear wheel cut through (bolt cutter). They then took everything else, leaving his lock and his fucked wheel. So, depending on your level of paranoia, this might not be the right lock strategy.
Granted, he lives in San Francisco, where the bike thieves are the equivalent of hyper-evolved ebola meth ninjas.
