I was recently in Japan, and was really amazed at how safe it is there. And nobody locks their bike! They leave it at the train station all day, every day and it is still there when they get back.
Especially at main train stations, bicycle parking lots hold hundreds of unlocked bikes and even with the very last train at 2am, every single bicycle is accounted for. It's funny how each bicycle has the owner's name and address professionally painted on with a fine brush.......in case it's lost or stolen...
Of course, one would be very stupid to leave a Colnago Oval Master there, even locked....
George!
