i go through the "hood" alot here and when little kids ask rudely for my bike i usually respond that they would hurt themselves on it because they wouldnt know how to ride it, then i track stand or something. then they say something like "woah thats some X games sh*t" and i go on my way. i understand that this would not deter all. i would like to see some unwitting thief attempt to steal my fixed and bike the dust, (provided he doesnt F up the frame). i was actually thinking of making a dummy fixed bike and leaving it in front of my house "unattended", to see if some young vagrants attempt to steal it (been happenning in w phil alot recently). ill keep you updated
