Ha! I bike to Starbucks so I can justify the 300+ calories in a grande soy latte! Our local shop (only 8 miles each way) is on a college campus and has a bike rack. I don't carry a lock, but I watch it out the window. Salsa is definately the prettiest (and certainly the most expensive!!) bike on the rack, but this is a sleepy little midwest type town, so I don't get too worried.
Caffeine fueled,

The kryptonite New York u-lock seems to work really well (I still have my bike),especially in conjunction with a cable lock. It may seem like overkill, but after having the same bike stolen twice
, I gave up on the idea of just using a cable lock no matter how strong it may appear.

Warning: Don't linger TOO long over your Starbucks triple latte while your bike is outside chained to a tree.....

i used to work at starbucks and I biked there everyday, until that is my bike and I were derailed. it was under condos and the bike rack was in the back next to the parking places. barring all else I have no qualms about locking my bike up to a parking meter, sign, etc. I don't lock my bike up to trees because 1. they are usually to big, 2. I think it is bad for the trees, 3. if the tree is too big it will be bad when I rough up the bark because I am trying in vain to lock my bike to it.

When Joe and I ride in Enumclaw we start from the high school and on our return we stop at the Enumclaw Starbuck for coffee (about 2 blocks from the high school). We carry locks in our back pouches that are attached to our seat post. We lock the bikes together and place them so we can see them through a window. We use our locks when we bike into Seattle. We usually start from New Castle Beach in Bellevue and bike over the I90 bridge and work our way to the Seattle Water Front where we usually stop at Ivars or that other place (can't remember the name) for lunch and then head back. Our locks work wonderfully but we still keep them in a spot where we can keep an eye on them.
