It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I like to bike when I can, but I'm still nervous to leave it even with a U-lock around the frame. I've also had a seat stolen before (not even a good one), but I'm not sure if there's anything reasonable to do about that.

What do you do to lock up your bike for commuting?

1 x Hiplok D1000(front tyre)

1 x Hiplok DX1000(rear tyre and frame)

2 x Hiplok X Chain(if needed to secure the other 2 locks to something)

I use the chain that came with my Load5 60 to secure the saddle. Sure someone might unbolt the seat but then that usually means it was a targeted theft.
