You will be fine at lindbergh. not that familiar with the bike rack situation but even if you can't find the bike rack that marta provides I know there will be one in that business park that the station is connected to.

I own a late model low end road bike (800$) and have left it at a lot of marta stations overnight and never had a problem.

Get a U lock with a cable. something like this and use it like this

I don't think there are many bike thieves in atlanta so you can get away with less and you should still be fine but imo thats your safest option.

The only stripped bikes that I've seen were ones that have been left there for a week or longer. nothing like chicago or new york where you actually have to worry about that type of thing.

If anyone is in the market for a solid U lock, I really like this one:

Has a cable included to lock the other wheel and has a high security key (the round keys can be opened with a bic pen). The bike mount is solid as well.

I'm currently using the OnGuard Bulldog DT U-Lock. I hook it through the rear wheel into the cargo rack, which prevents the rear wheel from turning, then secure the cable to something solid nearby and attach it to the U-lock. If I'm parking somewhere that doesn't have an anchor point, then I loop the cable through the front wheel and attach it to the U-lock, which I (again) hook through the back wheel and cargo rack. It's good to keep in mind that any lock system can be defeated if someone is determined enough, but this has worked well for me thus far and provides me with peace of mind. Sidenote: I picked up this lock combo set for $24.99 in late June from Amazon, so the price has definitely gone up, but I'm sure you could probably find it cheaper elsewhere.

For just a little more, you can get a u-lock with a cable included. This is mine, and there are certainly other sizes available. I've been able to find a way to secure my frame to a pole, sometimes frame+real wheel, and honestly that's been good enough for my relatively low-crime area. It also clips onto my frame, so I don't have to think about taking the lock anywhere, and my key is attached to my keychain, so it's really easy to lock my bike up everywhere.
