Bleriot Love - I totally agree!
Not only did I use two locks on my bike at my office building parking gargage bike rack, but I continue to use two locks when I park around my urban home location. But - when in the countryside, on a ride with a group, we never lock our bikes outside gas stations, convenience stores, local markets. And it seems like we're all in the store together, at least at first.

I commute by bike. Commute bike is Bleriot, all done up with S&S
couplers, generator hub/light, Honjo fenders, sweet new Racktime rack,
little front rack, panniers...
I work at (but not FOR) Nike; my desk is in a building a long block
off the main campus, about 1.5 miles from where I need to be to meet
with my usability session participants. Clearly, I just ride over.
Even if I didn't have my bike, Nike has a fleet of bicycles just for
the purpose of moving one's self around. Bike parking is dead easy -
anywhere you want, as long as it is not in the way. I take my bike
everywhere I go, and NEVER have to lock it up.
Today - usability session in the Mia Hamm building. Bike is parked
along the outside window wall; I'm a few cubicles away. Toward the
end of the session, some random stranger pokes his head in.... "Is
that your bike? Wow!".
