Firstly, I wouldn't use "supermarkets", rather, small shops where I'm better able to assess the risk, or even better, keep the bike in sight. Secondly, I've a small, combination lock I use on my road bike. Very light and, as yopu describe, just a thin, fexible cable. It's Abus. I'll DM you a photo via twitter in a mo. I have seen even lighter/smaller ones in Cotswold Outdoor recently too. Good luck with the planning.

We've stopped tying Tilly up outside even our local village shop, although we used to tie Dixie and Tilly up quite happily outside supermarkets in France. Mind you, Dixie would have had the hand off anyone trying to steal her!Chrissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355436620152802439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-26913025532674541772015-04-12T19:15:50.977+01:002015-04-12T19:15:50.977+01:00I hope he has his ears covered when you start sing...I hope he has his ears covered when you start singing.ha.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-54397786768080835712015-04-12T15:57:29.998+01:002015-04-12T15:57:29.998+01:00Or - a better (if immoral) plan - stick some hi-vi...Or - a better (if immoral) plan - stick some hi-viz patches on his panniers and write Assistance Dog in big letters. He can go in the shops then. I recently read that there's a big market for assistance dog harnesses for dogs/people who haven't been trained. Some people, eh?!

You can offer cash (and a shopping list) to any honest-looking shopper and then wait outside with Lucky while they buy your lettuce, half bottle of own-label Vodka and 10 Silk Cut.
