 Re: Riding in the hood.
Reporter guy hasn't called so I'm not expecting him to. Today I rode to home depot to get a couple of bolts to finish my build. While I was there I picked up a heavy chain and lock for the bike.
You might remember that I lost my cable and padlock when the basket flew off while I hung on to the bike for dear life. (pot hole)
I was telling my wife about the new chain and I realized that I wasted some money and weight on the bike. I bought a pretty substantial chain. A cheap plastic decorator chain with a faux lock would have worked as well. Truth is if they rattle the chain they are gonna take the bike somehow. The cheap plastic chain would have worked just as well as a visual deterrence.
Of course I had to demonstrate the bike for a customer in the parking lot. I swear all the people who ask me I cant believe I haven't seen one around yet. Funny they are all my age as well. |
