locking your bike

for those of you who get around on a bike, do you take the time to remove the front wheel (if it's quick release) and lock it to the back wheel and the back of the frame? Have you ever had a wheel stolen?

this is why you're sweating
no I walked/T'd today. I sweat more walking than biking around here because there's no hills. if there were hills it would debatable.
Always lock them. I dont like to spend cash on something I could prevent. And yes I have had a front tire stolen and that old bike wasn't even a quick release.

LOL!
?? made sense at the time
but she said she walked
yeah I usually use two locks as well, it seems easier than removing the wheel, that's why I was curious.
I've had 2 bikes stolen in the past two years which is just the worst feeling. both bikes were in the garage of my apartment complex and were double-locked. on one of them I had the old type of u-lock that were easily broken however. they were stolen by professional bike thieves who drive a truck right up to bike racks and just start breaking locks and filling up the truck. I'm trying to avoid that now- I've got a road bike that never leaves my sight and is always kept indoors, but I just got a commuting bike replacement that I would like to have for at least a year...I think it'll be better around here though. in durham petty crime like that is just crazy and there were a lot of places to get a truck full of bikes.
