So..... cycling

[LeperousDust]

The last bike really wasn't a looker, it was alternative and *mine* most important, but as you say people will steal anything. This new bike is going to be loved and never left outside long enough to attract attention (i hope).

I won't really be commuting anywhere with enough regularity to invest in a lock at a single location. I guess i'll have to put up and shut up though, the new bike is gorgeous and cannot be cammo'd at all, no compromise

I was thinking maybe a double lock combo would save a bit of weight and make it much more hassle to a would be thief in the short oppurtunity they'd get.

D-Lock and sturdy chain would probably save weight on a motorbike super-sized chain but give me the same level of protection. D-locks are surprisingly strong (as long as a lock itself is decent) barring the bottle jack approach.

I suspect thieves won't really be carrying round croppers and bottle jacks all at once unless they have some kind of inside knowledge etc...

Either way i've ring fenced a good £50+ on another (shorter for weight saving) chain probably 10-12mm i can obviously reuse my exisiting armoured lock from the MTB and i'll grab a decent D-lock and also start crossing everything and wearing lucky charms.

//Edit: Oooooofft this looks good, yet expensive!
£85! Need to find similar D-Lock without the Kryptonite brand...
