My indoor bike parking solution (see here) was NOT approved on the grounds it would not be fair for everybody who rides. Instead my company is putting a lid on the bike cage. With latch bolts welded in place and the cage covered, it should be safer.
Unfortunately, I don't believe the cage can be made totally secure. My next best strategy involves riding a bike that thieves are less likely to want. With this in mind, I bought a Costco bike - Infinity Horizon.3 Hybrid currently priced at $199.97 (clearance).
I'll raise the seat, lower the bars and add clip-less pedals, a water bottle cage, a bell and perhaps a wicker basket to complete the look. This bike is such a huge departure from my usual ride, it's almost cool. I can't wait to try that spring cushioned seat. It's definitely a bike built for comfort.
So what do you think? Is my strategy likely to work? Will thieves leave this one alone? Let's hope so.
