So right now I have a 2 foot chain. Not a krypto, some heavy duty chain I got at the bike shop. I have a Krypto NY U-Lock on order. I went with the 4x8 instead of the smaller one. Might be using it to lock up my wife and my bike at the same time. Also, my wife's bike has a 3 foot cable lock, thicker than most cable locks I've seen. I figure I'll carry all three of those locks in my saddle bag that I'm going to install next week and hope that's enough. My bike is an old bike, but I think it is pretty nice so I don't want it to get stolen. If somebody is going to get through 3 locks, good for them. Need to figure out the seat lock.

Union Square is really that bad? What are some other "hot spot" areas? I read a NY Times piece recently and saw the three highest theft areas were 10004, 1003 and Boerum Hill. My office is in 10005, and I live in Brooklyn Heights, right next to Boerum Hill. Had me a little paranoid I guess. I don't lock up overnight, my building has storage. So it will pretty much be during the day when I take breaks and I plan to commute with my wife to a lot of restaurants this summer (red hook, dumbo, vinegar hill, smith st, etc...)
