    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).

    My carpet bag is off the bike for the winter, and will return with the fair weather when my clothes are lighter and I have less to carry!

    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.
