- jerlam 3y agoThis rule doesn't work for ebikes that can weigh 70 pounds unloaded.
- wl 3y agoIf you’re riding a bike you’ve actually weighed, the bike should be in your sight or locked up at home. If you’re leaving it locked up in public, that should be a different, far less valuable bike.
- analog31 3y agoOddly enough I'm the rare exception. I weighed my bike (21 pounds, hardly a lightweight), but it's thrown together from old parts, and hopefully not a theft magnet. But also, I'm conscious of the actual level of bike theft in my locale, and am not particularly worried about it. I can always park it next to a nicer bike with a less secure lock.
