I know my bike isn't worth that much, but I'd still hate to get it stolen. I got the Pitbill mini for $24 on Amazon (compared to $50 at a store)... would it be better and safe if I were to purchase a second u-lock, lock the back wheel to the frame with U-Lock #1, lock the frame to the poll with U-Lock #2 and then the front wheel and seat with the cable connected to U-Lock #2. What are your thought's on this procedure?
It's probably easier for a thief to cut the U-lock than to cut the wheel. And if a thief is equipped to cut one U-lock, adding a second will just double the time it takes to steal your bike. Which might or might not deter someone, depending on how bad someone wants your bike versus other bikes nearby that are slightly less secure.
