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?

    While it hurts to do it, especially with a new bike: make it look worthless/less expensive. Make it dirty and sputter some mud on it. If thieves don’t think it is worthwhile to steal, the lock doesn’t need to be too sophisticated and you are less nervous. For commuting I would not use my best bike, but a reliable one.

    I use an ABUS U-Lock to lock my bike, to answer your original question.
