Yeah, if someone truly wants your bike, they can get it. Locking a bike somewhere in a city is about making the would-be thief look for an easier target. Outrunning your hiking partner, not the bear.
I've had five bikes stolen. I've got an Kryptonite NYC mini which has done me well since. But my bike at the moment is shit looking, it's kinda just shit. I put all the nice parts from my busted carbon fibre racer onto an old apollo frame.
But totally, outrun the bear. Plus don't leave it locked anywhere outside overnight. In Melbourne that a guaranteed theft these days.
Yep. In the same way, bolt-on wheels are better than quick-release wheels in a city.
