All bikes weigh 30lbs...
a 10lb bike requires a 20lb lock
a 30lb bike doesn't require a lock.
More like 50 pounds around here... My Trucker weighs 34 pounds unloaded, and I still use one of Kryptonite's New York locks with it ;-)

Your 15 pound club ride/race bike needs a 35-pound lock; my newly-adopted 50-pound Schwinn Varsity probably doesn't need a lock ;-)

The most bad-assed locks around here in central AR, though, are probably best for mountain bikes. Those seem to be the favorite targets by the ghetto rats.
