Nadia wants you to know how to lock your bike

Nadia Barrera of the City of Austin Bicycle and Pedestrian Program forwarded me a link to the following video, and requested that I share it with all y'all readers:

I'd already seen this but Nadia's reminder kinda got me thinking about how bad a lot of people are about PROPERLY securing their bikes, and how often bicycles or parts get jacked because of it. Every time I walk down 6th Street I reflexively look at all the locked up bikes and gauge which ones I think are most likely to get ripped off. Then if I have to lock up I chain my shit correctly next to those bikes. Hey, I figure a thief can only make off with one bike, and they'll go for the easy one. Check out the video, it's full of good info if you're worried about getting a bike ripped off. Plus, Hal is AWESOME for an old hippie mechanic.
