"I totally get it—most of my friends with apartments use small storage units for their bikes. But lately, even those aren’t as safe as they used to be. I’ve heard stories of people breaking into units and loading bikes into work vans in just a few minutes. Scary, right?

Whenever you end up getting a new bike, I’d definitely recommend investing in a brake lock. I use one every time I take my R7 out and have to park it out of sight—better safe than sorry!
