Obviously you live in a low crime area as I do. In that case, the frame lock is most probably all you need. I use just a cable and lock tucked away in a tool bottle which fits in my water bottle holder. I have never locked my front wheel and rarely my back depending on the situation. ie. nothing to lock to, the frame and back wheel. Something to lock to, just the frame to whatever.
This isn't my bike, but you migh t get a kick out of this 'locked' bike a few doors down from my house. I don't think the u lock is supposed to be used this way.
