Other Should I buy a cheap used bike in case it gets stolen or fancy e-bike w/better theft protection?
I know ppl steal bikes, so I’m trying to decide if I want to pay like $50 for a cheap bike so if it gets stolen it isn’t a huge loss, or invest in a really expensive e-bike that has a lot of anti-theft protection. I’m an animal science student and getting to the ag units without a bike sucks (and the ag bus is only every hour). Also, anywhere to get bikes or suggestions for type of bike or lock?
