Are there cyclists who're yanking their saddles up and down for every ride? This one has baffled me for a while.
I have a QR on the seatpost on one of my bikes that I use for commuting because in NYC they'll take anything and when you have a slightly decent looking seat they'll take that. I also use QR on my wheels so i can take the front off and lock it up with the back and frame so I don't have to walk home one day with a front wheel missing. I've known guys that's had seat, handlebars, and wheels taken. If it comes off, it will get stolen at some point.
