  • I rode in a coastal city for over a decade as my primary vehicle. My bike looked weird for starters, so less likely to blend in on marketplaces for resale. Then I bought a weird lock and locked it on poles out front like people do dogs. Make sure the pole is not something you can just lift the bike up and off. My thought process for the weird lock is we were told most bike thieves come prepared to defeat U-locks and chains, but they won’t bother with other kinds.

    You can also put a tracking device on your frame in an obscure location to give you peace of mind and help getting it back if stolen. And be sure to write your bike’s unique id down in case you need it for a police report.




  • Funny you say you would feel more free. I think if I came from money there would have been many expectations of me going to a fancy school and having a successful career. My marriage options would have been guided and I may even have been expected to take over a family business. Basically my life planned out by family with incredible power.

    Since I came from a modest lower middle class family, all anybody expected me to do was pay for myself. I’ve pretty much been able to do whatever I wanted as long as they didn’t have to help me make rent. I’ve traveled, tried different kinds of jobs, and even started my own little company on the side.

    Why have you not learned to draw or play an instrument? Do you suffer from long work hours or inadequate pay? If so, my apologies, this world isn’t built fairly.
