I'm also ride in the DC area, I've got a mid level kryptonite u lock and a couple of the longer cables. Usually I just go with that pair trying to make the u lock the point of attachment to whatever I'm locking too. I have had attempted cut marks on my cable that I discovered days or possibly a week after the attempt so I'm not even sure where it happened. I run the cable through the saddle rails and don't have pitlocks though I have thought about them many times. I also try to do the 'sheldon method' of locking the rear wheel in the rear triangle w/ the u lock. So far so good.
I mostly leave my bike in a secure garage locked to a bike rack and feel very comfortable. Out in the city I prefer to have line of site but I've also trusted to the above system many times. I've read articles about professional theives with cans, power cutters and sharp eyes for taking the more valuable bikes off a crowded, public rack, but thank goodness no direct experience. If I really think about it and plan to be locked up, out of site for a long time I prefer to ride my XO-3 that looks like it's been through the mill and back. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
