It's been years since that incident and I'd like to get a new bike. If I lock the bike up well it shouldn't get stolen right? Or should I really just get a dirt cheap walmart bike...?
If anyone wants to steal your bike there is nothing you can do about. Any lock out there can be easily defeated. There are a few things to keep in mind:
Upgrade to an aluminum frame if you are going to be carrying the bike regularly (like up the stars at an apartment, etc).
The walmart bikes are fine if you don't expect them to last more than a few years. Also, I would NOT use them for actual offroad biking as they are far more likely to break and injure you.
