Just recently we locked my wife's, daughter's and my bike together in Victoria, BC, and spent several hours roaming about the city. It would take a couple of really strong dudes to pick up that bundle of bikes and cart them off. A professional thief would probably get them regardlesss of the of the lock. I'm not sure I'd do that in Eugene or Portland, Oregon.
but what did you do with all the gear that was on the bikes while you were away from them for the entire day?
