I run one of these through my wheels, loop one end through the other securing the wheel to the frame pull it taut so it can reach and go around the rear wheel, then secure that end with a U-Lock going around the frame and object you are securing to.
Only thing it leaves vulnerable is the saddle and any accessories you mount.
That lock can be cut with scissors or a pair of wire cutters pretty easily. I recommend a quality u-lock.
Abus mini 14 is nice
I purchased a HipLok and I am liking that U-Lock so far
Than pair that with a cable to connect your front wheel to the lock. A cable like this would work
A key with the ulock is don't buy a long/really wide one if you don't need it. I prefer the Mini U Locks as once my wheel/frame is in there and I am locked to an object there is almost zero room to put a jack in there.
Also look up proper locking techniques, such as the Sheldon Brown method or the Modified Sheldon Brown method.
ALL locks can be defeated. Locks are nothing more than a deterrent. Just be smart when locking up. I usually do my best to lock in a spot where I can keep an eye on my bike, or I just park inside whenever I get a chance. When parking inside, still use a lock if possible, as i know some people that have had randoms walk in off the street into their office, grab a bike and leave.
