[*BCM*] Commuter question

[Dan Barrett]

I use one of these when leaving my ride at South Station during trips:

Buy the big lock + chain, plus a mini u-lock for your back pocket.  In 
the morning, leave the big chain locked to the rack at South Station 
when you take your bike to work; use your mini u-lock to lock during the 
day at work.  At night, secure the bike at South Station with big chain 
through back tire and frame, and u-lock through front wheel and frame.

That's the way I've done it, and I've never had a problem, even when 
leaving the bike at South Station for a week.  You might also want to 
tape up your frame, both to protect it from scratches when locking and 
to deter interest in it.
