This is the best solution, no need to buy $120 plus in locks, nor haul the weight around of one those Krypto NY Forgettaboutit(sp?) chain locks PLUS the U lock. Just buy either a U lock or a thick cable lock. Yes I know cable locks can be easily cut through, but for a $40 dollar bike I doubt anyone would even try when there are other ducks in the pond.
