   @crschmidt asks about bike locks and how much to invest in them:

   Q2. What advice do you give people on how much to spend on locks relative to their bike value? How do you tailor this advice for someone's situation?

     @sam @ascentale @crschmidt I love aiming for that bottom left corner.

     In college we would spray paint good bikes to look like crap so people without real knowledge would pass by

     @ascentale @crschmidt I have made a science for you that definitely was from real data and not just made up off the top of my head to explain exactly how much you should spend on a bicycle lock!

     I am tentatively going to rename the guaranteed stolen zone the "Midtown #Atlanta Zone".

     @ATLeagle @sam @ascentale @crschmidt I recall a MAKE magazine piece on that. In checking, there are a fair few fun bike projects in that issue. https://archive.org/details/make-magazine/Make%20Magazine%20-%20Vol%2011/page/n75/mode/2up
