Even while touring 'ultralite', i'll always carry a mini-Ulock and keep an almost paranoid view of my bike if I'm otherwise unable to secure it to a secure object. It fits on the bike itself and has become like part of the bike more than 'extra weight'
Its mounted above the front derailluer braced up against the seatstay in the rear triangle.
I use a U-lock and combination cable around town, but just bring the cablelock on tours. Its long enough to go round lamp posts etc and through the wheels and frame. I only leave my bike if I have to, often I will
take it into a store and if I eat in a restaurant I try to sit close to the window to keep the bike in sight.I'm thinking about getting a motion alarm for the bike, there are some around, but I'd really like to see one from Kryptonite or OnGuard.
