[*BCM*] - Boston t Bike Ride

By the way, by "clear message", I mean they visibly send a clear 
message; they are a preventative measure, not reactive. In other words, 
u-locks do not represent a threat to a potential attacker until they 
have crossed the line between potential and actual, where baseball bats 
sticking out of bags are a clear visible signal that we are not merely 
sitting ducks.
