It's _very_ common for cyclists to use bike locks even if they personally haven't suffered a bike theft.
- failrate 4y agoIt is also common for cyclists to use cable locks until the first time their bike is stolen. And then they learn that cable locks do not work.

- goda90 4y agoOn the other hand it might take multiple thefts to learn the lesson for some people. When I was a kid/teenager, someone stole my bike and the police found it(yay small town) abandoned several blocks away. Of course it took my sister and brother-in-law pretending to steal it for me to really learn.
