Ra's Life

So, after walking across 2 states and 1 district (the United States - and 1 district of America), I can now easily bike to 2 states in the same ride on my new, bottom end mountain bike.

I bought a new, very basic mountainy-y bike with front shocks and wide tires and 21 gears. And the best lock I could get. D.C. bikes thieves are not like those in Amsterdam but they are opportunity thieves who seize a chance if it is presented. My housemate just had her front tire stolen a week ago.

I use the recommended double lock - a cable through the front tire, locked to a U-lock through the frame and back tire. Just the snare-look should discourage most thieves.
