I've decided not to get any of the U shaped locks  because there just
don't seem to be enough places to use them around here.  They seem to
be fine in some cases, but often the only convenient thing  to lock a
bike to is a telephone pole, flagpole, tree, or  other large diameter
object.  U-shaped locks don't work  well in  such cases.   I'd rather
have a less than optimal lock which is in  use than  a wonderful lock
with no place to use it.
