I'm cycling to eatern Europe this summer (rough route is head for
Ukraine and circle back through Romania, Bulgaria and the former
Yugoslav states).
I am interested in recommendations on bike security for the trip. Most
of my previous touring has been hostelling in fairly quiet areas, so
I've only carried a light cable lock. This time I will be camping
(campsites and wild) and I guess that at some point I will have to
leave the bike unattended in some larger cities and towns, even if
this is only for short periods.
I'm trying to travel as light as possible, so I would prefer not to
haul a heavy D-lock with me.
Any opinions or recommendations about security?
I would also appreciate any specific touring tips about eastern
Europe.
Thanks
Ken

Europe.I take a D-lock and cable even in France which is very safe. Without your
bike you're stuffed. I also chain my panniers to the racks, although they
could still be emptied. Paranoid or what?!Ken.

using a pacsafe, used for attaching rucksacks to other objects to avoid
them and their contents being stolen.i always carry a d-lock and cable lock.
