Again,you're now without a lock. What if you want to stop at the store on the way home? Plus,leaving your lock out in the elements 24/7 is going to cause corrosion problems.
I'm taking another lock with me (a better one). I believe I've already said this. The U lock is heavy which is the reason I want to leave it at the bike rack. I'm doing it anyway to save my shoulders. I'll put my name on it so no one is mistaken.
You know what, my bike is not worth that much, 2 locks, job done. I'm not worrying about it anymore.
