When I was occasionally riding my Pog and Felt around town I'd manage to get the Big U through the front wheel, downtube, and LOOK pedal - which was kind of like locking up the rear wheel.
I hear a mini U lock is ALWAYS better than a large U lock as the large U lock provides more leverage for an attack? True or False? You might want to always use the smaller U Lock as I believe it to be safer (and lighter to carry)
