A guy in my class parked a shiny bike not locked for a month. After a month when he came back it was still there. The chances of this happening in Amsterdam are very slim. Even if you only lock your bike to something with a big chain somebody with a metal cutter will come and get it if the bike is shiny. And better lock both of your wheels and the frame through the chain or else you end up with a bike without wheels. Unfortunately the steering wheel and saddle are not so easily locked.
- vacri 16y agoThe saddle is just as easily locked - get a light chain and a padlock, wrap it around one of the underwires of your saddle. As for 'steering wheel'... a bike that unusual is asking to be stolen by a curious enthusiast :)
- jules 16y agoMy bike doesn't have this, although my racing bike does. Unfortunately racing bikes as made in such a way that you can detach parts easily in a couple of seconds...so it's really necessary to bring two locks or one very long one to lock everything.
