I’m doing a week long (hopefully) of wales in a couple of weeks and after a few training rides i’m trying to cut the pack weight down. I’m going to be camping so i’ve addressed tent, cooking and sleeping fairly successfully so far.
Next on the list is security. I don’t want to drag round 1kg+ of Kryptonite d-lock if i’m honest, but have little faith in lighter cable locks. Any suggestions? Do some not bother with either and just keep the bike in site? I live in Cardiff and bike theft is beyond rife so i’m very sceptical. Should i worry about my bike getting knicked in sleepy Welsh villages and campsites?
