[lug] Commuting by bike with a laptop

[Matthew Beldyk]

Why did you choose the quick release option (I see there is also a
bolt on option that is slightly cheaper)?  It sounds nicer, at least
in terms of putting the bike on the back of my car, but I'm concerned
because I'll be locking the bike up under the engineering center
fairly often and wouldn't want someone swiping it.
