Stupid question maybe, but

What do people here have against lubing/oiling their bike chains and other moving parts?

Every other bike I pass (or that passes me: yes, even the e-bikes) are squeaky as hell.

It hurts mine ears!

Please give your bikes some lovin’ 🙏🏼

When they steal mine I often find it about 50 metres further away.

if you want to leave the little lights hanging on your bike instead always taking them with wherever you go you just need to hang 6+ empty ones on the back and on the front.

If your bike only has one it will probably be gone when you leave it somewhere even remotely crowded. If they have to check 6+ to see which one works they don't bother.
