ichitz, yeah I usually carry two u-locks and one cable.
One u-lock through the rear wheel/rear triangle, another one holding the front wheel to the downtube, and a cable running from the saddle rails to the rear u-lock. That's worked out well so far.

lulz. Pretty much. Got drawn in by the illusion. Got thwarted by geometry. I really don't know how the scuffs to the rear wheel came along. Looks like he was trying to fiddle with the lock with some tool. Maybe jamming his wrench between the lock and the wheel, trying to use it as a jack, or just wedge it off somehow. I'm kind of baffled.
Looks like, except for unbolting the wheel and loosening the chain, the guy had no goddamn idea what he was doing. Realized he couldn't pull off the quick boost, so he bailed.

This is something that I've done a few times. Definitely safer. Need to be in less of a rush to lock up and do it more often.
Anyways, thanks guise. I'm glad the bike is still here with me.
