If someone were to break into my house, I would hope they'd take my least valuable stuff... beginning with my bikes!
Please leave my gold, silver, watches, and guns. Take the bikes!
Sorry, BMC... Zullo... Pinarello... Tesch... Paramount... and all the rest.
My bikes are stored in my garage, hanging on the ceiling. I have 2 plastic coated, 3/16" stainless steel cables that go through each row of 7 bikes, one padlock for each row/cable. They are only there to deter someone walking by from running in while I have the door open (and maybe in the back) and running off with a bike. A nice bolt cutter would make short work of it. I don't have an insurance rider for my bikes as they are just not that valuable enough in my opinion.
