The rest of my customization is functional. Dyno hub and lights, extra blinkies, frame pump, wide tires, B-17 saddle, saddle bag with spare tube, patch kit, multi-tool and wrench.
Oh, the fancy bike doesn't see bike racks except as it's ridden past them.

No bike racks for my bike either. Stays folded up by my desk all day here at work.

I'm sorry, given that "most" of us are
VERY particular/protective of our bikes the "locked to the bike rack" comment was more figurative then literal.
