Any other advice, suggestions, warning, or tips that you can provide?
Lights and computer I take off, water bottles and frame pump I leave on. I also take the pannier and top bags in with me. Filling them as I shop, and when they're filled I head over to the cash register.
It can be fun at times getting the baggers not to bag my groceries.
As for where I park, the store that I go to has been undergoing a renovation and the bike rack has been blocked so I've parked inside the vestibule. Using both my U-bolt and cable locks.
