True, I could solve that problem. I have another problem, though: I live in a small apartment, I'm not allowed to store anything on the patio, and bikes are trivial to steal, so…where would I put it? And if I ride it someplace and go inside, where will I leave the bike?
Well I'd say it's easier to store a bike than it is to store a car. Where exactly, I don't know but buy a good lock. A good lock will easily set you back 100-200 dollars but they're worth it.
On where to store the bike at the destination, There a lot depends on (local) governments. In the Netherlands there are bike parkings everywhere, and you start seeing it more and more in Canada (Vancouver at least) but I guess tou can just out it against a light post?
This apartment complex has a parking garage for cars, and cars are not trivial to steal.
From what I've heard, portable angle grinders can easily and quickly cut through any bike lock, including expensive ones.
