Touring Equipment

why take a lock? ive been on 3 quite long tours in this country and not taken a lock. no problems. i dont think people are after riding off on a loaded bike?? how often are you separated from your bike?

maybe its the type of touring i do...i certainly try and avoid areas of habitation...

Maybe you should talk to Fixie Dave Nice. He was racing in the tour divide years ago and was in the middle of nowhere...He camped for the night in his bivvie bag...when he woke up after getting a few hours sleep, somebody had stolen his fixed surly cross check and left him stranded halfway through a 27OO mile race. :[
