Hey, I''''m planning on using my bike for the commute to school. I live about 45minutes away. Anyways I was wondering if I should lock my jacket to my bike. My friend told me i can just get a cable and feed it through the two sleeves and lock it to the bike. Im already carrying a backpack full of books and my helmet, I dont want to have to carry the jacket also. Wat do you guys think? anyone ever do this? and do you think a 4feet or 7feet cable will work? Thanks!

Why dont you lock your helmet to your bike under the rear seat?

I dont want it to get stolen, I have a 450$ helmet and Its a lot easier to steal a helmet. I can just see someone coming by and cutting the strap just so they can have a helmet, even if they dont ride....I doubt anyone will cut both sleeves to the jacket though that takes too much time..

Just seems kind of silly to me. I imagine you wear your jacket. So, why not just keep the backpack on, and the jacket, and carry the helmet with you. Just seems like too much money to leave on your bike. Besides, the trouble of having to take the backpack off, then your jacket, then pull out a cable, feed it through the sleeves, then lock it to your bike. And if you say it''s too hot to keep the jacket on, you shouldnt have that far of a walk to class I''d imagine. It''s up to you though.

well, I have 4 different classes from 10-7 and they''re all in different buildings. I dont want to look like a goon wearing a motorcycle jacket around on campus, especially in 95+degree weather (im from houston,tx). But yeah im starting to think i should just carry it around. Id be piss to come back to go home finding it missing or ripped up.

I live in GA so I sorta know ya heat, sorta lol. And if I ride I have my jacket, glove, and helmet with me at the least. And I carry em with me no matter if it class, work, etc. If I cant see my bike n shyt or there no one I know who can see it around it, my shyt goes with me. :)
