Lots of questions

do they make low jack for bicycles? or some kind of GPS i can hide in the seat tube.. there are 600 homeless camps n these woods, A 3000$ bike would be a nice prize for them...... or crack money

some roads are like Russia around here... pot hoe for every foot... would a front SHOCK help with the vibrating? without reducing my speed?

I seen on youtube... some people have a SPEEDO? that's telling them the speed there going? looks like a LCD?? what is that?

????

You can't be serious.

You've been a member here since 2005? I'm guessing you are a really slow learner!

Don't be helpless. Maybe, you should spend more time reading stuff rather than asking to be spoon-fed.

$3000 bikes with or without suspension? Who can tell what you are really asking about!

And it appears you've never ever been in a bicycle shop or a place that sold bicycles!

Anyway,

1) No,
2) People ride around potholes.
3) You can't be serious.

I got a giggle.

1)Register it. Put your driver's license number/SIN number on a piece of paper inside the handlebars and/or seat tube. Lock the thing, about all you can do.
2)Second njka
3)Common appliance. Very simple, easy to use, easy to install. How you own a $3000 bike and know NOTHING about speedo/odometres is beyond me.

You have a computer. You can't really be that helpless. I'm assuming you are planning on buying your $3000 bike rather than stealing it.

You really should ask your questions in a way that appears you have taken some effort not to be helpless.

Okay I'll bite.

Where on earth do you live that you have so many homeless camps around you and the roads are that bad?

You mention you have lots of cars but none that work. However, you have or plan to have a $3000 bike???

Hhhhhmmmmmwhat's wrong with this picture?

lowlux, I really wanna know -- if you've never been in LBS, and "never will", where are you getting your $3K bike? Online? You'll find out everything you ask there anyway, just in the shopping process.

Also, SF asked the critical ones -- curious about that, too........

Last Q:

Are you for real?

I wouldn't have the bike I have if it wasn't for the internet. I bought my bike from the LBS, just about every thing else I got online. A lot of the bits I wanted/needed they don't male any more, so I had to find them on ebay.

I'm thinking none of the above.

My bet is it's a junior high school kid who thinks a lot about bikes and has a lot of questions but is trying to sound cool.
