My goal is to find a way for people to walk into any bike shop, here in the US, and walk out with a bike that is designed to withstand theft, including theft of components. Currently one must customize the heck out of a bike to make it suitable for making frequent trips in a city. Not only are the wheels and seat easily removable, but hardly any bikes come with basic things such as chain guards and fenders.

Many, many people have stopped biking because they know they can't leave a bike outdoors and they don't have a convenient place indoors to store the bike.
