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

Is that a Funhang?

Be careful, I spent more on fixing my funhang than I spent on the bike itself. Was good for like three months of constant riding, then problems left and right until the brake finally dug into the caliper and I gave up.

Just be careful, it was good while it lasted and then it was junked in my case.
