RE: Preventing your bike from being stolen
I think the pic of the dog is photoshopped just a bit.I worry more about the bike getting stolen from the garage when nobody is home,than when I'm out and about on it.For the garage,I use a floor anchor and the biggest chain and best padlock I could find.Lock the forks with another padlock and one more chain going through the front wheel to the floor anchor.It might seem like overkill,but I'd rather not have the bike disappear.Besides,there are plenty of nicer bikes than mine to choose from!And my insurance is up to date.

RE: Preventing your bike from being stolen
I always try to park it in line of sight....I check on it often, but never walking right up to it. I have the HD alarm and siren, and I am planning on getting the pager. It dont hurt to have a good eye for scum bags either......I am always watching out for people "checking out my bikes".

RE: Preventing your bike from being stolen
My friends and I use a plastic coated cable with loops on both ends.We run the cable thru the front wheels of each bike and then lock the ends together with a big lock. We always lock all three of our bikes together when we are traveling. Maybe if there is a thief around he will move on somewhere else rather than try to cut thru the cable and seperate the bikes.
