On days I ride BART in the evening I take note of all the bikes locked up inside the station but accessible by anyone with a ticket and wonder, are these bikes safe even with U-locks and heavy duty chains? Apparently they can be cut through within a minute or so with hydraulic cutter. Would you lock your bike at a BART station all day? Do the BikeLink lockers work better? Have you ever had your bike stolen from a BART station?
