I am fully aware I need a good quality U-lock for my new bicycle, Blackie, especially if I do plan to ride downtown to work from time to time, but the idea of spending $50-100 and carrying around a heavy lock just to ensure that criminals with bolt cutters don’t run off with my bike really pisses me off, because I worked hard to afford that bicycle, and I shouldn’t have to spend a bunch more money to keep criminals from stealing what is rightfully mine.
