Jacket/Helmet Security Cable

Sometimes it's inconvenient to carry around my helmet and heavy bike jacket, so I added a 3' long cable lock under the seat that I can loop through the sleeve of my jacket and helmet. The cable is a piece of 1/8" plastic coated  wire rope, with a crimp connector on each end. One end is permanently attached to a small aluminum bracket that fits under the seat. The other end hooks through a slot in the aluminum plate. When the seat is flipped down, the cable cannot be removed.

Here is a photo of the jacket cable. Beside the cable is a small Tupperware-type container that I use to store extra fuses, a flashlight, Swiss-army knife, etc.
