Do you even Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Milan, etc ?
These places seem to have massive bike-theft problems, as bad as London.

Which is to be fair, in cities.

These places seem to have massive bike-theft problems, as bad as London.Are you nuts? I can't talk about the other places, but for sure Berlin has way less bike thefts than London or San Francisco. You almost never see good locks here, not to mention massive amounts of people who lock the wheel to the frame and that's it. I don't think I have seen any bike locked with 2 locks during the 5 years that I have been here.
Anecdotal evidence: I have stopped carrying two locks and often lock just the frame to a pole. Neither of my bikes has been stolen.
Anecdotal evidence 2: On a recent trip to the US of America I borrowed my friends bike and locked it up good. The thieves broke the lock and made off with the bike within 45 minutes.
