I'm with you, Raven. I don't carry a lock and would hate to have to.

I live in a VERY rural area and our stopping spots are country stores dotted all around. We lean our bikes up against a picnic table or tree or whatever's available. One of us always keeps an eye on the bikes, but in all the years I have lived here I have not known anyone to have any trouble.

That said.....this guy was in my neighborhood last Friday.....
