though i really, really do not want my new bike stolen. they take 'em here in chicago.

might use both my krypto and the tigr together for parking on my street outside my apartment. and the tigr alone for errands. errands can still mean leaving your bike on the street for hours, but that tigr at least seems decent. i really like krypto's insurance policy though.

will be waiting a few days before i drop over $100 on a lock, so if anyone else has an opinion about light but effective locks, please weigh in.
Bring your bike inside! Leaving your bike outside gives up your greatest protection, surprise. A prepared thief will defeat any lock quickly under cover of darkness.
Besides, components suffer from exposure to the elements.
