So what's your lock strategy?
I think you are using the most effective strategy already----lock your bike better than the others ones around it.
You're right about the lots to carry, I started to get what I thought was the ideal lock and then found out that it was 9 pounds. That would be fine if I locked up in one spot every time and could leave the lock and chain at the parking spot.
I use a Knog lock. Purely because they're scarce around here and I don't think the local thieves have enough initiative to deal with it.
