I think that's the way I'll go for around town and errands and use two u-locks as pictured. Less weight carrying two u-locks compared to a u-lock and a square chain! I'll leave the chain in the cage at work. And as far as not worrying about a bike locked in a badge-access cage, I'm not that naive! All it takes is someone to not close the gate all the way or someone to be going in who doesn't belong in there when another is coming out and they have a whole slew of bikes to pillage parts from. It's in a bad part of Oakland and will be at night. We've have people assaulted, ***** and robbed outside of where I work.
