@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?

@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".

@sam @ascentale @crschmidt I have another curve to investigate, which is "weight of bicycle" vs "weight of bicycle plus enough locks to stop it getting stolen". I'm not 100% sure of the shape, but there's definitely a point where saving another 500g will require an extra 1kg of lock.

@nickzoic @ascentale @crschmidt I'm a big proponent of the "ignore weight at all times" rule unless you're in a race, but then you're probably not stopping to lock up (but yes, I take your meaning; I feel like price is a good enough indicator for that too though!)
