Bike Bicycle Lock
How should I lock my bicycle?
I just bought a bike and I don't know what I should buy to protect it from thieves. AFter doing some research online, I need to lock the the rear tire and frame to a secure pole, front tire to frame, and seat to frame. Correct me if I'm wrong, plz.
What type of lock should I use for all 3 areas?
Have you heard of anyone selling a package of all 3? who?
any other helpful info apprecaited.
thx

It depends on the effort that you want to commit. If I was in maximum security mode, I would use a good Ulock, a 1/2 inch cable, and a pair of street cuffs. I would attach the ulock frame and rear tire through one end of cable directly to the fixed object. I would string the cable through the frame and front tire, bringing it back to the ulock where I would use the cuff and another part of the frame as an anchor again to a fixed object. In Really max mode, I would take the front tire and seat with me. Any combination of the above would be a normal level of security, using the Ulock and cable would be significant security level.
I have always been able to find a spot at work or at home to store the bike inside (stock room, vertically in a cubicle. vertically in a corner at home or in garage or closet) .... so always keep it inside whenever possible. I have even taken the bike inside shopping with me, and taken inside the bank and propped it up against a wall while there.
Many of these products Kryptonite, Street Cuffs etc have theft guarantees on them (see mfg.) so if you can comply, you might get paid back. The objective is to make the thief brink mulitple tools, take lots of time, and be very obvious, to get your bike. It might just make them go on to easier pickings!
