This store just opened up a few months back, and they had zero bike parking.

I emailed their head office, saying that I was planning to shop there, but not until they added a bike rack.

Went to check last night, and boom! Bike rack!

I have a hiplock U-lock. Clips nicely onto a pocket, backpack, or belt. Never found a place where it wasnt wide enough and it's super portable.

hiplock U-lock.

Very nice! Yeah, I've got a few u-locks that are narrow but long. Others that are short and stubby, but fit perfectly around the seat rube and rear wheel.

In addition, I use a folding lock, just because it's easier to keep mounted to this bike in a particular (where weight and storage availability isn't a concern).

The hiplock sounds like an awesome option for my road bike, though, where I would not want (or have room to) mount a lock to it.
