Locking bike and valuables
I am looking into a solo RTW and since I have had my bike stolen off the streets once, want to make sure I do the right thing. I am using soft luggage.
Here are some thoughts open for commentary/advice:
I read in my threads the advantages of a bike cover; I have one but it is a small Aerostitch one, covers mostly the top half of the bike, and not even sure it would cover luggage that was left on bike while shopping at the street market.
I could pack a 1/2" braided cable and small u-lock so the bike is attached to something, if hotel does not have covered/secure parking
I don't think a Packsafe will work when using the Giant Loop Great Basin luggage; maybe a small deterent
I also have a small 3/8" braided steel cable I could use to "secure" the luggage on the bike.
Open for debate.
