Yes, I was a little scarred by my "bike thievery" experience this past October. Its been 5 mos and I've yet to muster the will to buy a replacement...until now. Snowboard season is coming to an end and I'm getting that itch to hit the mountain bike trails and put my body through the ringer that its been begging me to avoid.
Forget the cruiser. Forget the hybrid. Forget the vintage, cool looking bike. Forget the front basket. I'm going hardcore (well, entry-level hardcore) trail bike. And though I'm certain it will get more mileage as a grocery-carrier on the mean streets of Berkeley than it will on the trails of China Camp, I'm happy to kid myself in the meantime and believe, for now, that I'll actually ride this thing on some single tracks come Summer.
'09 Raleigh EVA 8.0 (better of the two bikes but, even on sale, about $100 more)
'10 Cannondale F7
Oh, and PS, forget the 1 little lock business...I'm getting 3-4 hardcore locks and using them ALL EVERY TIME! Good luck taking this bike from me you hooligan thieves! NEVER!

Nice! You ought to pick up one of these bad boys and some saddle bags for your grocery runs. You can pop it off pretty quick before you really hit the dirt, but don't forget to run your cable lock through it!
