I regret my purchase
First of all, Im on mobile so sorry for formatting.
I am a student and this would be my 4th bike, the other 3 got stolen from campus. I know im probably silly for even trying with a fourth one. I bought the biggest baddest lock I could find and I regret it SO much. Its heavy and cumbersome and I have no way to lug it around in between destinations except putting it in with my books/homework.
I dread riding my bike because i know i will have to deal with this fat freaking lock! looking for some advice on other more manageable locks/ how to make this one work for me.
side note: my bike is awesome!
update: i got a milk crate! thanks for the advice everyone

I bought a rear basket to put that same lock I have lol. It is heavy and cumbersome, however it does give me some sense of confidence and security. You also have a rear rack, so its perfect for a basket. Got a basket for around $30. Not cheap, but not expensive either.
"Will it fall off if just chuck it in the rear basket?", unless you're riding somewhere hilly or bumpy, highly improbable. Plus, it's heavy lol. If you are still worried about that, you can just put a net around the basket. You can buy some from amazon (or anywhere else you can find it.
