Look at it like this, go cheap on the locks and you will pay the price. Trust me. I've seen it, witnessed it, and had many friends on the crying end of it.
I own two lock systems that work great but I know sometime, somewhere someone will steal my bike. This is why I take it in everywhere I go.
There re are locks that attach to the frame and lock between your tire and frame but are built into or mounted on the bike. They are like a c lock. Cannot remember the name of them as of now though.
Youre riding.... That's great. You are saving money. Buy a damn good lock, take insurances the on your bike, and be carefully where and how you lock it.
Go go cheap on the lock and you will pay the price. Bye bye bicycle.
