Also, use an old roller chain to prevent someone from stealing the seat. Wrap it around the seat stay and at least one seat rail.


I had a seat stolen. It wasn't a great seat, however, riding home without a seat was a pain, and then going out to pay for another seat an additional pain. I kept a shopping bag over my seat when I was commuting to the station. This served two purposes, 1, you couldn't see that it was a reasonably good seat 2. it kept rain, bird poop and debris off the seat. When I returned I removed the bag and rode home. I always thought that one of those all plastic BMX seats might be a solution, but I would have had to go out and buy one, so I just protected the one that I had.


By the way, I saw someone on the forum put a Huffy decal on their bike. Don't know if that helps, but it could be a deterrent.
