  Keen to hear recommendations for cafe locks. Use cases I am thinking of here is out on a ride out of central or locking overnight when touring - emphasis on lightness and portability.

  Some reviews found at links below but keen to hear personal recommendations:

  As threat from Covid begins to subside, beginning to think about taking a bikepacking trip to Wales.

  Ive checked out Bear Bones Dash and Trans Cambrian Way but keen to hear other suggestions of multi day routes (3-7 days) where theres food stops available most days

  Suggestions gratefully received

  Has anyone read Yasha Levine's Surveillance Valley? It made for an easier read than I expected but also found it interesting to read about the US intelligence communities backing of different privacy tools (Tor and Signal in particular)
