do those bikes get used often? I have friends with ****ty cable locks and that's all they have. But they only ride on weekends to cruise around and maybe stop for a light lunch and usually the bikes are within sight.
The bikes in my building all have krypto chains or ulocks. We don't have a specific 'bike room' it's just everyone locks up in the lobby hallway and it's really hard to walk around for peeps on the 1st floor.

maybe it also depends on what type of bikes they have. My weekend friends have hand-me-down bikes or older bikes that aren't screaming 'steal me!' while ppl in my building have vintage conversions, trek road bikes, 1 dutch bike, 1 vintage schwinn tandem (yes! a tandem in brooklyn!!), 1 foldable. Anyway, i think those bikes will attract thieves much more than my friends' bikes, thus the better locks?
