Huh... what are you supposed to do with your bike while you head inside to borrow the lock? Nice gesture, I guess, but really impractical.
I've been thinking recently about what responsibility Chicago bike shops have as far as selling cable locks. I think I've seen a few shops (Rapid Transit, maybe somewhere else) that sell cable locks but have a sign saying "for suburban use only" or something of that nature. It looks as though a lot of the bikes on the stolen bike registry were new and purchased from a Chicago shop--did someone sell them a crappy lock at the same time they sold the bike? At the bike shop where I worked in NYC, we pretty much refused to sell someone a cable lock for their new bike.
