Bicycle Safety
How do campers with bicycles protect them from thieves? The CG we are in has had four bikes stolen this Summer. A good, thick chain with lock doesn't seem to work. Thanks for all ideas. Betsy.

I have a two fold plan.
1. Keep the good bikes at home. Anyone who knows what they are looking at will move right on by my old junkers and take the sweet ride next door.
2. Lock them up. Keep the honest folks honest. I just use a cable lock around something permanent. But if I were in a theft heavy environment like it seems you are, I'd go with a heavy duty chain and good padlock in addition to the cable lock. Make the thief move on to an easier target.
