Maybe it was my fault for going cheap on a lock but I remember for weeks afterwards having nightmares about it being stolen. One of the worst feelings. Don't go cheap on locks! It's worth the extra cash!<br /><br /><a href="http://eastwaylock.com/" rel="nofollow">Earl Mark @ Eastway Lock</a>Patrick Armeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09352898868909156917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384807982946756823.post-38837761973058125252015-01-27T02:41:37.503-08:002015-01-27T02:41:37.503-08:00Amusing that you refer to your main ride as a &quo...Amusing that you refer to your main ride as a "pseudo riv." When I get together with some vintage fans, I refer to my Riv's as "faux vintage." The links on the Bordo series have withstood the bolt cutters, of course the grinders are a danger to us all!Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11240252773932276478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384807982946756823.post-77217422683215668502015-01-26T19:28:42.765-08:002015-01-26T19:28:42.765-08:00I see no reason to feel guilty unless you are depr...I see no reason to feel guilty unless you are depriving your wife and children with this addiction. I see it as coming with the territory. We should try and improve our enjoyment of cycling as our opportunities and circumstances permit.. <br /><br />Now whether that lock is safer than say the Abus Granite X u-lock, I doubt it. It only takes one cut to disable it. It also looks like a bolt cutter could do it in due thinner plates better fit in its jaws. It may or may not be rated as equivalent. I don' think it is. I look forward to a review of review some time.<br /><br />I have had four bicycles stolen. All in the 1970's. All 10-speeds. For many years I rode old cruisers because they were not as popular to steal. Over the last twenty years I have been riding older but nicer bikes. I have one bike I bought new, a Brompton, because I can keep it with me. My main ride is my pseudo riv. I lock it with an Abus Granite X and I am careful where I park it. It sucks that I have to be so vigilant but in New Orleans there is a lot a desperation.<br /><br />Schwinnsta.Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763533509067033102noreply@blogger.com
