The beater roadie is also my commuter and I toss the lock in the pannier if I've brought it.
I have nutted axles on all my bikes so I'm less worried about wheel theft, although it's not impossible. I've got pretty distinct wheels and I've got my security message written on the rim strip, so if it ever ends up in a shop I'd like to think that the wrenches would actually call me. Rim strip says:
"Wheel is property of <real name>. If brought to shop, call <phone number>."
I do all my own wheel work (I built the wheels) so there's no reason my wheels would end up in a shop. If some jackass steals my front and then brings it somewhere, I hope I'd get it back.
I use the Sheldon Method for locking all my bikes, but I live in a low crime area and rarely leave my bike for much more than a pop-in at the grocery. Most of the time I'll even just wheel it in with me.
I locked my brand new CX bike up outside a bar with a concert going on right across the street and I pulled a "hipster high-lock"; hiked it up to the top crossbar of the adjacent fence, hooked the handlebar over top and locked up to the crossbar through the rear wheel. It's tough to pretend you're not stealing someone's bike when you have to work on it 8 feet up in the air. Nobody messed with it.
Thats kool man,multiple bikes for multiple things...I need to do that.Did you say you "wheel the bike in with you"? Where can you bring a bike into the grocery store with you??? If I did that anywhere around here,I dont think I could get away with it.
