What are your thoughts about the ring lock. Am thinking that with those 3 locks, my bicycle will be relatively safe
I use the Axa Defender RL with the optional plug in chain. I believe I bought one from Clever Cycles in Portland, OR the other came from Dutch Bike Bits (shipping can be a bit steep). I use it about 90% of the time when I am doing my general shopping. If the bike is going to have to be locked up in a high risk area or I am going to be away from it for a longer period of time I will add a ulock and a second cable. Bikes in my size are hard enough to find that I don't want to have to find the ones I currently own stolen.
