Opinion time:
There was a brief discussion of bike security today at lunch and it got me wondering. (Also, I'm pretty sure it's a matter of time before someone complains about me leaning my bike up against an ultrasound machine in the lab). So, let's say I decide to leave my bike outside with a lock. Right now, I wouldn't even think of using my circa late 90's Kryptonite lock thanks to the pen trick. Unfortunately, I think I missed my chance to get a free replacement. So: what kind of lock? Regular or Mini? What do you do with your quick release seat? I don't want to carry that around with me. Are any places near the engineering side of campus better than others? Do you really lock the back tire, because I've always been told to lock the frame and the front tire (but that would be with a full sized U-lock). What is a non-irritating way to carry the lock with you on a ride? (I'd have to look but I don't think there's any other way to mount something on my bike).
This game might be the greatest 96k program ever written. Best of all, it takes about 45 seconds to play a 5 round match (if you don't stop to watch the players wander around and fall out of the ring).
keepin' it green is relative. to and fro with 59 hens or 3 hogs and 0 carbon footprint, peeps. (except for when you gotta bring the moped). [more inside]
