From transforming daily commutes to bridging the gap for non-cyclists, e-bikes are the most significant evolution in cycling since the mountain bike—and that’s a win for all.

A good u lock and a cable for the wheels is enough to prevent theft. Unless you mean there aren’t any bike racks to lock to

It takes 27 seconds to cut a ulock with a battery powered angle grinder. https://youtu.be/hjYXD9pyupg

That being said, I do use a ulock and cables when I lock up my bike. It stops opportunistic thieves, but not determined thieves.

uLock New York lock and an air tag hidden under the seat or somewhere else sneaky. Take photos of your bike and serial number. Register it with your renters insurance or homeowners insurance. Park it in public, visible spaces. Go ride your bike! People will steal anything if they really want. All you can do is deter them

Yeah, worry about stuff getting stolen as a reason to not use that stuff is futile. It’s only take 3 minute to steal a toyota hilux for determined thieves, if they want your bike so bad, they can break into your garage for it, or hijack it while you riding.

It’s a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don’t be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
