Many bikes, including mine the wheels and the seat have those quick release latches. They can be replaced with normal bolts so that a thief will need tools to steal them. Terms of bikes and price, I own three bikes, I actually cut back. I sold off 6-7 when we moved. The bike I ride mostly, is a middle quality bike, well USED, will not be a prime target for thieves.

Suggestion, be sure to carry tools and a spare tube. With all the construction around here, I've had more flats than I can recall, pre-villages.

I picked up a small manual air pump Amazon a a small bottle of Slime in a pinch works pretty good I carry in my bike pouch
