My lock options...u-lock & chain, or 2 u-locks?
Recently picked up a bike off craigslist for commuting to and from work. Work in a ****ty part of town, night shift. Bike will be locked up in a bike cage that is only badge accessible, in a "gated" parking garage.
I currently own a small Kryptonite u-lock and a Kryptonite Evolution Series chain and lock. Also have a small, thin cable that is looped on both ends that I have girth hitched around a rail on the seat, and will use the other looped end to pass through one of the locks as a deterrent so the seat isn't easily stolen (also, the seat is not quick release).
Here's my plan...both wheels are quick release. I plan on using the small u-lock to lock the front wheel to the frame. Then use the chain to pass through the rear wheel, cable girth hitched to the seat and through the bike frame to the bike rack in the cage. This seems fine to me, but not looking forward to lugging the chain around on my 16 mile roundtrip commute, so considering using two u-locks.
Thoughts?
