Abus chain OR get an
OnGuard or Kryptonite chain + u-lock solution. I will just keep the chain in a pannier or strap it on top of the rear rack. The chain seems like the easiest and best option for securing both wheels and the frame, quickly and easily when I am shopping.
Im buying the bikeregistrychain or the chain from tulsa and getting a nice padlock to go with it.I have no 1st hand experience on this(well not yet,Im ordering mine friday) but from what I have seen,the 2 chains I just mentioned are GREAT and super cheap compared to the kryptonite/onguard/abus.Check out the ones from tulsa chain,you can get 3 ft,w/cover delivered for 33bucks.Not bad...Still have to buy a lock,but home depot sells the masterlock pro series locks for around $15.So you can get the bikeregistrychain,w/the abus monoblock lock for $38delivered,or the tulsa chain w/out lock for $33...
