If thats all you need then a cable lock is more than enough unless you're stopping off in the middle of a high crime area and have expensive wheels. Seats, controls and components can still be stripped off any locked bike if its left unattended for a lengthy period.
I use a cable lock myself for short stops at the convenience store and ocassionally (tonight for example ) - don't bother with that. Bike theft seems to take a dive in the winter for some reason.
