Also, someone said to be sure not to leave your bike on the bus. My neighbor is a manager at our local transit authority, COTA. He's told me they get lots and lots of bikes that are left on the bus and are never claimed. Some junk, some very nice.
Opinion of several bus drivers I know says that most of those bikes were probably stolen so the rider could get to the bus easier/faster.
I've never forgotten my bike on the bus, though I've come close when distracted by the kids and girlfriend.... Have had 2 times where someone attempted to steal my bike off the rack. I always stay as close to the front as I can so I can keep an eye on her.
