You don't have to run faster than the bear, you have to run faster than your buddy.

Seriously, if your bike looks rattier than the guy's bike next to you, or have it locked better, your bike is less likely to be stolen. Your's doesn't have to be unstealable, just harder than the next guys.

Seriously though, is bike theft a big problem in the fan? None of my bikes are that desireable, and most of my friends keep their bikes inside.
