I shudder when I see a rocky mountain sitting in the rain locked to a rack.
His freshman year I took his beater bike and went to lock it up on the bike rack while the boy and MOM checked in at his dorm. Took a look at the various bikes out there. One was a brand new(not a nick on it) Red Specialized Sirrus hybrid. It had a cable lock running through both wheels and then the cable lock was draped OVER the bike rack, not through it. Anyone could have just picked it up and walked off with it! I always wondered how long it lasted.
