I would probably just get a cheap Huffy when it came to that point. Or use my folding bike a lot more often.
it's the way of things here. but if i am going to ride 30+ miles in the city i want to ride a good bike. but i don't worry about a cable through the seats, i just take my seat and post with me
in nyc i use a big kryptonite 3'3" chain around my front tire, bike rack and frame. then i use a mini kryptonite series 2 u-lock through my back tube and rear tire, then take the seat off. half the time we ride in the city it is 2-4 of us, so we don't even bring locks, just watch our bikes while 1 of us runs in to grab food, etc..
