Thanks for all the constructive replies!!
My highschool school hours are 7:30-3:00
Theres no doubt that if I ride my road bike to school, it would be the nicest one standing out. Every other bike is a walmart mountain bike.
The racks at school are not bolted to the ground but are all connected and heavy.
It looks something like that, but is all connected into 1 piece and is not bolted to the ground
Whats the safest method with my 3 locks, (2 mini u locks, and a 4 foot cable)
to lock my bike to that rack? (if safe at all) (I was thinking backwards.....??)
*Also, about 5 other heavy bikes are locked to the rack so I doubt anybody
would be able to move the rack.
I fret about not getting my frame locked to something stationary, only the wheels.
My school DOES have handicap poles and lightpoles about 50 feet from the
school gate but my mini locks would not fit around the lightpole.
If it were up to me, I would just get a fixie beater but I would have to wait until Christmas
and spend money on gas until then.
Car is mazda 3. ^^^^
*Second mini lock has not arrived yet. would having 1 mini lock and 1 standard lock be any better?
