And better locks! This cable lock isn't good enough!

I just realized my bike is my primary form of transportation Like, I do not want to drive my car 4 blocks to the liquor store. I just do not. If I want to head downtown, it makes no sense to me to drive; I can get there in 10 minutes on my bike. Even ignoring the commute to work, the bike is just the best way to get around the city.

My primary parking concern with my bike is theft. Parking a car is hard, takes money, often leaves me in a parking garage where I lose my car, leaves me far away from where I want to be, and then I have to walk it. Walking is slow.

I need a back-up bike, and better anti-theft.

... how did this happen?
