as in all cities, one does have to use common sense as to where one locks a bike up. If downtown I tend to use my Ulock plus a cable lock, just so hopefully it deters a little from taking more time--but after doing that, you cant let worrying become too much. Glad you like biking around here, but as you know, you have to be more careful of car drivers here, be on your toes, our drivers can be pretty bad.
