Im originally from DC/VA area, but my friend is about to move from Springfield to Howard U area, with his fixie. Right now he uses a small Ulock, and a coil lock to lock up. I advised him to get a big chain from On-guard, or wherever for living in DC. He says the bikes beat up so it won't matter. But I told him that a good lock is the difference b/w him riding his bike or someone else riding it. Besides big locks give bigger security.
Do you think his locks are enough, or that he should definitely get something bigger and stronger. I'll pass this thread along to him.
