I don't normally go anywhere that I have to lock up my bike; I carry a cable lock on my bike rack on the car and lock it up when I carry it. But I'd like to have a cable with the bike just in case; for my hybrid I have a really light thin cable that is coiled and fits on the seat tube; it's small enough that I can't feel it.
I got a bigger one with the idea of keeping it on my mountain bike, but when I coiled it around the seat post I could feel it as I pedaled. I put it just below the handlebars, but wanted to make sure there's not some reason it shouldn't be carried there- it doesn't seem to interfere with the steering or anything.
I could get a real light one like the one on my hybrid, that one fits anywhere, but just wondering if I could make use of this one I just got. Where does everyone carry cable locks, or does everyone use u-locks?
