<p>thenarrator, i'd think it'd just be a matter of finding a bike without locked wheels, and reusing the front wheel off that on every subsequent hit... o.O</p>
<p>what's a reasonable price for a decent not-a-big-deal-if-stolen type of bike?</p>
<p>a quickrelease is a thing often put on the seat and wheels so you can take them off and adjust them quickly without tools. Instead of a plain old bolt, it is a tab that you fold over to tighten and straighten out to release.</p>
<p>as long as you run the lock through the frame, you should be fine.</p>
<p>I have not heard of any bike wheels being stolen off bikes at my school. Though I have heard of someone stealing a bike that was locked through the front wheel.</p>
<p>You won't definitely be riding on roads either. Many people ride their bikes across fields and such to avoid crowded pathways.</p>
<p>If you take the time to lock your bike through the frame, it should really be fine...</p>
<p>Even in the most prestigious schools, it's common to see the mangled remains of bikes that were torn off of the rack. And if they can't get the bike loose because you have a strong lock, they'll settle with tearing the seat off. Keep the bike in a safe place.</p>
