    Hello,
    I hope you won’t find this as a spam, but couple days ago I was cycling home from work. At some point I’ve decided to stop at the shop, but I couldn’t buy anything because I didn’t have a lock with me. This happened for me for quite a few times already, usually when I go for a longer ride for example in Peak District. All the time I have to try to find shop staff and ask for their help, but sometimes it doesn’t help. I got really annoyed and just wanted to know if there other people like me. I might be a very naive student, but I think that it is possible to change this situation. Sadly even to try to achieve it I need your opinion, to know if you feel the same way, so could you please fill my questionnaire? Sharing with other cyclists would be really amazing, because quantity can really help this time. Thank you! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10d0UDbZfoHGw2IeOl8BYph_o3tyAsKtKhai5TCdrdjg/viewform?usp=send_form

    I leave the ‘D’ at work, but carry a cable lock “just in case”. I know it’s not going to stop a prepared thief with even a small pair of bolt cutters, but it will deter a casual thief if I ever need to nip into a newsagents for a few seconds.

    You could also invest in a hiplock or something that you can carry easily.

    You could always try a “cafe” lock. It’s not going to stop even a partly determined thief. But, it will make them look more favourably at the bike next to yours with no lock on it!!

    OK, fair enough. I always
    OK, fair enough. I always have a cable lock and a D-lock with me (in my pannier), so I don’t really think about not having a lock. I’ve filled in your survey, though.

    Why are you riding to/from
    Why are you riding to/from work *without* a lock? đŸ˜‰
