Use an actual chain lube for your chain. There are DOZENS of different lubes, and it's a holy war, like mac vs. PC, chevy vs. ford, or campy vs. shimano. It comes down to what kind of conditions you'll be riding in and personal preference.
I'll keep a small can of chain lube in my desk drawer & spary the lock(s) accordingly & a small can of WD-40 for when it rains & I need to chase the water out. BTW, I prefer Tri-Flow lube.
One more thing, I know I said I have locks to use. I am not comfortable using them as it turns out. Need some suggestions. I will need to lock at least one wheel to the bike rack, preferebly the front, not that concerned about anyone stealing the back wheel or the seat. Keep in mind I ride a Vision R40 SWB recumbent & do not know what style the rack will be yet.
