I have always done it with my bike at every school ive been too. Except I reserved a spot for my bike in the school so it can be hidden away from any eyes.

i did it a few times, locked it though my frame, wheel, and fork cuz i got dualys, all with one long lock. lol. never had a probulem.
the last time i did it tho, there was a tack in my tire, and i never did it again, i had a slow leak for the rest of the day, but wen i got home and pulled the tack out. it al escaped.

i ride an stp with dj2's but that was about the only thing worth while to lock up. i bring my bike to school and half the time i dont lock it up, disnt matter if n e one took it they wouldn't make it out of the school property cuz the chain would have fallen off and they would have probly fliped over the bars, plus i go to a small school and if n e one stole it the word would travle fast..then its stoner bashin time! I just upgraded everthing thoe so i will probly end up locking it everyday.

look a little closer, only one lock is actually attached to the bike rack. that would be easy to steal, just pointless.

yea... don't ride your bike to school unless you want it to get stolen. i rode my bike to school for like 2 years till it got stolen. Came out to grab it n go home all i saw was my losk laying on the ground there my bike used to be. im just lucky my friend didnt bike to school with me that day beacuse we both used the same lock.

I could have your whole bike stripped in about 5 minutes and you would be walking home with a frame, if you were lucky enough that I didn't have a hacksaw blade in my pocket, then it would be 5 minutes and all of your bike. DO NOT TAKE YOUR GOOD BIKES TO SCHOOL Now you see, you learned something today not at school

(witness) HEY! what are you doing to that lock??
(thief) I lost my key today and don't have another, so I had to go home and get my dad hacksaw. He is soo pissed at me for even taking my bike to school since he payed so much for it
(witness) Oh, ok, Good Luck Don't loose your key next time buddy.
(thief) oh you can be sure this will never happen again.
