This is one of those times I get really caught off guard by the responses to a post. My reaction was, man that's a bummer-- I feel for you! I know I much prefer to leave my bike inside. I totally understand how that gets you down temporarily... but if I had to leave a bike I liked outside I think I'd probably lock the front and back wheels separately, take off the seat, and put something over the bike when it rains or snows. As far as the classism and stuff, umm, I'm not seeing that...
