I bought one of those disc brake locks a decade ago but decided it was not for me. It was more difficult to use compared to simply locking my rear wheel and frame to a fixed object. If somebody does move the trike with the lock in place, it can damage the rotor or brake mechanism. That's expensive to fix. Mostly I consider any lock just a deterrent for someone trying to hop on my trike and take if for a ride. You could thread the cable through the front wheel and chainring and then lock it to a fixed object. I had one regular bike stolen years ago here in town even though it was securely locked. I would never leave my bike or trike locked in a sketchier part of town after that. I was only gone for about 10 minutes and within that time somebody stole it.
Is there a big market in used bike flags? I don't see any regular riders using flags. About the only ones who do are trike riders.
