Last year was my first time, but yeah you really need a bike there is a lot of distance between things. I walked too, and for things like the man and the temple burn I was on foot because I knew the crowd would be nuts.

Oh and it had been years since I'd been on a bike god my butt hurt.

M, I've read them all like three times. I own most of her books. Have you read any Mercedes Lackey? She is another one of my favs. I have a lot, I'm a huge Sci-Fi/Fantasy reader. I also used to work at a book store.

I used a cylinder combination cable lock, to secure it it worked great because I just had to twist one number to unlock it, most thefts I would guess are just somebody getting tired of walking, so any deterrent is enough.

You don't want to bring a real good bike the dust will ruin it or make it necessary to work on it a lot

I was just going to ask you about locks, Z! Thanks!

I'm highly amused by the irony of reading this comment while at a furry convention....

Just to it's self mostly,

I got a box of ball pit balls and cut the balls and covered as much of the tubing as possible to decorate it. It's a whole lot easier to pick your bike out of the masses of them if it's decorated.
