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.

Even bolted on. I use the less secure cable on the rear wheel which is more of a pain to remove and the cable I use is that coil spring type so if they cut it they will likely still have to fuss to remove it. Nothing is 100% but you can make it as annoying as possible. I always said spend more on your lock than your bike (at least the one you lock up away from home).

This is the way! It's a shame that we have to also inconvenience ourselves because of some degenerate thieves, but prevention is way better than dealing with the aftermath of theft.

Im so disapointed in the cardboard bike not becoming a thing. I was hoping for a bike so cheap I could lock it up with a luggage lock and that cable they secure projectors with. You know the stuff that is super thin but like you still need like a two handed bolt cutter thing to cut it.
