Need bike lock and locking tips.

Get a locking skewer for the front wheel. Get yourself a proper u-lock of the correct size for your bike and usual locking places. Put the lock through the rear wheel, triangle, and around a properly solid object.

But really, a lot of this comes down to context. If you’re in a low bike crime area, the above instructions should be enough. If you’re in a high bike crime area, there are a lot more little things you should be considering, e.g. securing the saddle, waxing a ball bearing into Allen bolt heads.

This has worked for me for years. The only thing I would add is to try to position your bike such that it’s harder to disassemble. Wedge it between a signpost and a parking meter, or a bike rack and a bush. Anyone with a couple hand tools and easy access can strip off components quickly and quietly. Make their task a little harder.
