Tell me about it. I have a 3' Kryptonite chain lock that weighs 3 lbs. I admit, I've switched to a 6' cable that weighs half as much; but since it's an "old" bike (sorry, Princess) and not new hotness, she's more in danger from tweakers than serious bike thieves. I also don't leave her outside for very long; if I was, I'd bring the chain.
