this lock?
sorry, I was only awake for about 45 seconds when I made my initial reply this morning.
Get a U lock from someone like Kryptonite or On Guard. generally the more expensive ones are safer. avoid cables. all locks will only buy you time. any lock can be cut with an angle grinder.
the goal is to make your bike harder to steal than the ones around you so in a city environment you want to really protect your investment.
the safest way to lock your bike up is by the rear wheel like this. personally I also lock the frame and rear wheel like this but Sheldon Brown and the site I got the images from argue that theyre the same. I lock the frame in part for its adding stability (my lock is a little long).
The rear wheel is more expensive than the front, so its not going to hurt as much to lose the rear wheel. however, if you want to lock the front wheel up too (maybe because its a quick release) you can lock the wheel to a post or to the frame using a U lock OR you can loop a cable trough the wheel and then slide one of the loop ends through your lock. this should only be a secondary defense for your front wheel and should not be used to lock your whole bike.
if you live in an area where a pencil thin coil cable lock is enough then just lock up the rear wheel with a U lock. you bike will be much more secure than the ones around you within a huge radius and you wont ever have to worry.
I have an on guard pitbull with the loop cable (I dont use it but its nice to have in-case I know my bike is going to be locked at night for a few hours in the city. thats the only time ill have it with me).
