Default Preventing your bike from being stolen

What are the ways you use to keep your bike from being stolen? What extra measures do you use at big bike gatherings?

You just need to realize that if someone is determined to take your bike anything you do only slows them down.

If I go to a bike gathering where I have to "lock up my bike" because I don't trust the people at the group gathering......I don't go to that group.






Otherwise, I park it, take the keys out and walk away. If someone takes my bike over everyone elses...well, I guess they needed it more than I did, and I have insurance.

No, really I have a cable lock and I lock the two frames together, along with disk locks, but this is only to slow them down, if they wanted them they would find a way to take them, just keep your insurance paid up.

Aside from the common sense stuff like lock it and take the keys I carry full coverage insurance. If they want it they will take it, I prefer they not destroy it in the process in the rare case it is recovered.
