The norm now is two locks. One cable through the front wheel and looped
through a good Kryptonite lock(for the rear wheel) like the New Yorker and
locked to something immovable. not a parking meter in other words.
Alternately you have to remove the front and add to the middle. I always
thought that to be more difficult than using an extra cable.
I have my seat included in the loop. The New Yorker is 4lbs and has the
highest security rating. Got real fit toting that around.

Cheers
