that's why I like my gekko, I can take the security pin with me,
the bike will collapse on itself when the thief sits on the saddle.
I know, I forgot to put the pin in when I tried riding it out in my hallway,
it just folded up. for short trips to grab some take-out it's perfect.
like you, I'm not going to buy a giant lock, the lock will cost more than
the bike's worth, I'll rig up some zip tie to secure the QR seatpost.
Lot's of NYC office buildings are still bicycle unfriendly. that's if you
want to work in the corporate world.
