Folks. If you're meeting at 9am, lets get going right away. The last
thing I want is to miss out on the show if we drag our feet. I

Yea, a lock is good. I'll bring at least one cable too. We won't be
far from the bikes at all, and we'll be able to see them the whole
time too. San Diego is safer than LA or SF, but it is a city! I
always bring a lock.
