Fantastic. It's a really sturdy one too.
How long before there are so many cyclists that they have to install a second one?

That would actually be great, but I'll believe it when I see it. Right now I know of about three of us who sometimes bike commute. Perhaps this will bring more out of the woodwork.

That's great. Is there a cover over it? I lock my bike to one of those racks, and I leave my U-lock locked to it, so it's always there for me (I just need to remember to bring the key!
).
Lights are almost b/c'ing a non-issue already....just in the a.m., really. It's pretty bright until 5:30 already. I'm just about ready to go back to the "be seen, rather than see" lights, and take DH's NightRider system off the bike. But, yeah...the cold is a downer. This a.m. was 20 degrees. I'm still in hibernation mode, myself.2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

No cover at all.
The weight of a lock or two can be quite an extra load to haul; as far as leaving it on the rack, how will it fair out in the weather?
How is your carpet bag working out?
With the times of my commute I'd had enough AM light right now, but not enough PM light.I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

Not sure how weather-resistant locks can be. Mine is not, I don't think, but it's on a rack in a covered garage, so it's not really an issue (except for the condensation puddle coming from a nearby a.c. unit, but that's not too bad). Originally Posted by MDHillSlug

Maybe you could just get a really heavy chain and use a waterproof padlock? I got one at Strosnider's that I use on the door to my shed, and it's been out in the weather for years and is as good as new. Originally Posted by MDHillSlug
