Bike parking safe from damage in the South Side?

Hello,


I recently relocated to PGH. I was somewhat concerned locking my bike up on a weekend, when having some drinks in the Southside (or any areas near a dense population of drunk people). What is the best way to avoid drunkards jumping on rims, or trying to steal a bike? Would you suggest a parking garage that has racks?


Any advice/tips/stories would be much appreciated.

If the reason you're going to the south side is for drinks, you might be better off walking or taking the bus, for your own safety on the road, and to avoid a drunk biking ticket (it does happen!).


Otherwise, I'd say try parking away from the thick of things, or in an area with more cyclists / less wandering drunks. Maybe in the south side works area?
