I just got a new bike and was curious if anyone had any thoughts/ideas on locking up your bike when you're at a downhill park if you're grabbing lunch inside, or running to the restroom? I've historically just left my bike on the rack and not worried about it, but wondering if others had some ideas on how to lock up the bike.
I know that any bike lock (especially lightweight ones) can easily be defeated with bolt cutters, screw driver, maybe even less, but I'm mostly looking to prevent opportunistic theft and not have to keep my eye on the bike every second if I'm running inside to pee or whatever or need to keep looking over where the bikes are when I'm eating lunch. A small combination lock with integrated cable that is attached to the frame that I could quickly pull out and around the rack (or even with other bikes in the group) seems like it might do the trick. I could also just carry one in my pocket to use, but not sure if there is something thin that can attach on the bottle cage or clamp to the frame somewhere else.
