The Downtube has quick release for the front+back tires and also the seat post. This has played in my mind on purchasing a U-lock or chain?
Any thoughts/suggestions, please!
I use my new bikes at a college setting also so I do practice one thing whenever I am on campus: I keep it with me folded up and under my desk at all times-I do not lock it up outside for any reason. I do get permission from my instructor(s) for predictable class meetings
before I take the bike on campus. Why buy a folding bike when you have this one feature over all the other bikes on campus? But to be fair, there is another folding bike owner that locks her bike all the time even at the same buildings I use. The question is, who do you think will keep her bike the longest?
