Default Scared for bike

Ok, first things first. Im a long time reader, first time poster and I must say I love this forum.

Things I've wanted to say for awhile but just couldnt post. Blue fox u my friend have the cleanest bike on here
Be verticalim going to steal your idea ofthe blue spokes and polished lip
Lrn2go Laser exhaust is sexy
Crashkhanman im in Fredericksburg we should go riding sometime

Now to my post. My job is sending me to VA beach and setting me up in a hotel for 2 weeks.I've heard that va beach is notorious for stealing bikes and need either a) some reassurance that it will be fine orb) advice on how to make it less stealable. Anyone from that area have any advice. Im thinking about talkin to the hotel to see if i can store it inside. Last but not least, i dont really know the beach/roads anyone down there tryin to go riding?

Welcome to the posting world. Crash, you're in Fredericksburg? I was just there to visit friends weekend before last. Coolness

Ask the hotel to let you keep it in your room with you

They make heavy duty chainlocks for bikes, for your front tire.

+1 to that.

And thanks for the compliment. She's not such a clean bike right now (have had thunderstorms, followed by dust storms lately [:@]).

I've thought about rolling the bike in but im going to be set up in a suite that wont be on the grounf floor...maybe ill ask them if i can take it on the elevator with me. Leaving it at home not an option, its the beach and i cant go that long without riding. Looking into large chains and locks
