I carry one on my bike all the time. Doesn't weigh much and gives you a little piece of mind.
Well, the nice thing about the lightweight cable/padlock is that I already have one, and I can put it in my seat bag, and I won't hit my knees on it.
I realize most people don't, but how do you know when it's safe to leave a bike when you won't be able to watch it? I mean, most places I go on non-brevet rides, an unlocked bike is a goner, and a locked bike better not be one of the nicer ones on the rack.
Basically, I don't want people to laugh at me for carrying one, but I'd like to be able to stop for a restroom break...
