Sorry if this is a repost, but how do you guys lock your bikes? What sort of locks do you use with your lightweight bikes, used in the city?

Or just remove it completely to save him the embarrassment.

I'll rephrase/refine the question: a portable lock that doesn't defeat the purpose of a lightweight city bike and doesn't spoil its looks, whilst still providing reasonable protection.

The threads quoted didn't give that answer; I've had a lok at them

Pick any two.

My bike leans against the shop window, unlocked, allday everyday.
If it rains I bring it inside.

If you do not want to lose your bike to some light fingered thieft there is no answer to your specific question.

Two good quality locks in a bag is the only way, an unfortunate paradox to riding a lightweight bike of any quality.

Or do not leave it anywhere unattended.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
