Ok this may sound like a simple question but I was wondering how people who intend to leave their bikes whilst out on a ride carry their locks with them?
I have just purchased a new lock for a couple of reasons. The first my old one fell apart the second because when i had it wrapped it around the frame of the bike the rubbing from the general motion of cycling and weight of the oxford lock rubbed the paint clean off. Quite annoying as it was a new bike i had just dropped 1K on.
Anyway back to the question i don't have room on the bike to fit the new bike lock holder as it would mean removing a bottle cage and when out doing 50+ miles i need all the liquid i can carry also as its a cyclocross bike i want to keep the weight to a minimum.
