On locking up bikes...

For the last four months i was living in New York City working on bicycles and dodging cabs and pedestrians. I came in contact with a lot of characters down in the big apple, but none were quite like Hal Ruzal.  Hal has been fixing bicycles at Bicycle Habitat smack dab in the center of downtown Manhattan since before the first oxygen breathing life forms emerged from the ocean. Needless to say, he knows a thing or two about keeping your precious two (or one, or three) wheeler safe from the dirty mitts of thieves. below is a quick video the people at bike tv put together with Hal.

Now, of course the situation in Burlington Vermont is different from that in New York City, however we at the Old Spokes Home recommend taking locking your bike up as seriously as if you were in big town NYC. it is astonishing how much bike theft does occur in our beloved Queen City. It is my belief, that most bike
thefts are preventable. So when it comes to buying a new bike, a new used bike, or just want to keep an old friend yours, take it from the pros and get a good lock.
