Well, the answer is quite simple. I rarely leave my bike in a high risk area or unattended for any length of time and I just like the convenience of a simple light weight cable lock.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, the only times that I need the lock is for a quick run into a store or maybe a restaurant and I usually leave my bike pretty much in site also.<\/p>\n<p>So this kind of lock will work for my own particular needs but if you are looking for higher security please check in the the U-Locks on the <strong>Bicycle Locks page.<\/strong> I also have some other blog posts on the subject is you want to search the blog for &#8220;locks&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Comments?
