      I'm curious to know how people who have these larger cargo bikes lock them up when at a store or other destination.

      With a regular bike, it's challenging enough when there are no racks (and even challenging when there are some poorly designed racks!, but at least you can lock a regular bike up to a number of other things (posts, trees, etc.).

      If I owned a cargo bike, I'd probably use two locks + a cover.

        you can lock a bike like this to a post just like any other but it will stick out more. even with a regular bike its hard to secure both tires with one lock. I have the largest u-lock and a cable on my bike. The cable gets secured with the u-lock so its only on thing to unlock but threading the cable takes time.

          Yeah, unless the wheels are bolted on, I'll use one u-lock to secure the rear wheel, and another to secure the front wheel and frame.

          As long as I have at least one u-lock on it, I feel less uneasy about having my bike locked outside.

            Even bolted on. I use the less secure cable on the rear wheel which is more of a pain to remove and the cable I use is that coil spring type so if they cut it they will likely still have to fuss to remove it. Nothing is 100% but you can make it as annoying as possible. I always said spend more on your lock than your bike (at least the one you lock up away from home).

              This is the way! It's a shame that we have to also inconvenience ourselves because of some degenerate thieves, but prevention is way better than dealing with the aftermath of theft.
