Actually, you don't have to go overboard- all you have to do is make it just
a bit less attractive to a thief than some other bike on the rack. Park it
next to a shiny new bike.

My son enters college this fall, so I put together a bike for him by
salvaging spare components and a frame that I wasn't using. Suggestions on
making the bike inconspicuous?
Maybe disguising the bike isn't worth the effort for today's thieves?
Suggestions from college students.
