If you're worried about losing your bike seat and post (a real possibility) here's a quick&dirty bike hack to secure the seat on a bike. It's a bike chain inside an innertube looped through the seat rails and under the stays that hold the carrier.

It should really be looped under the seat stays; I'll make that change when I swap the seat for one that's not held together with duct tape.

Out in the middle of nowhere Scotland, and an integral bit of my bike vanished off through a portal to an alternate dimension. Nae bother. Got wood and a farmers workshop. Jobs a good’un. #HackOrBodge #bikePacking #BikeHack

Here's a SF city #bikehack to prevent your expensive #saddle from getting stolen while parked outside 🫡

Pro tip: You can get a used 8sp #chain for free from any #bike shop! 💸

And if you did already get your saddle stolen find a new one on Sprocket or put a Wanted listing for it ✅️

I’m not buying a gross plastic chain cleaner when I’ve got a perfectly good Thatchers can, knife, reusable zip tie, and an old bamboo toothbrush. #WestCountry #BikeHack #reuse

@dcz uhh, that's evil. so far I always succeded with a combination of wd-40, heat gun, ice spray (works great!!), force, more force, brute force and sticking-the-friggin'-bike-heads-over-heels-in-a-vise-and-using-the-whole-frame-as-a-lever. #bikehack

You can protect your bike frame with tapes of all sort, but this doesn't really cut it if you want to rest your frame against poles to lock up. I covered my top bar with a spiral wrap knotting pattern to get some protection, and prevent the bike from sliding away.

video on how to knot the pattern:
