How many different locks do you carry?
For the most part I have been a "recreational rider" always loaded my bike into my truck,drive where I wanted to ride, ride and drive home. This past year or so I started commuting to work a few times a week and have since started riding to stores and such. I bought myself a decent u-lock and thought I was all set. The problem is 99.9% of the business's locally do not have anything I can lock up to with a u-lock, alot don't even have a place to use a cable lock. The bank for instance doesn't even have a tree nearby that isn't 20ft around or is smaller than my arm. When I'm downtown it's not an issue there's plenty of places to lock up with a u lock. My question is do most of you carry multiple lock devices or just try and find the nearest place to secure and walk a few blocks if needed. The less things i need to attach to my bike the better.
