I was out delivering beach cruisers Monday and came across a new Specialized Allez Elite in a bike rack. The owner used just a small combination cable lock to "secure" the front wheel to the bike rack, and nothing else! If I were a lesser man, stealing this bike would have been so easy, as all I needed to do was to open the quick release on the wheel and front brake (not break) and I would have a completely new bike, my size even, without a front wheel. Considering a I have a vintage Roval front wheel at home, the temptation was great.

When I returned to the same rack today, there was the front wheel attached to the rack with the same cable lock. Looks like the lesser man showed up.
