I'm planning to buy my first more expensive bike - ~5k or so, which means that I'll need to start caring about it not being stolen. Are there any particular locks which you'd recommend?

OBAMNA PHONE posted:depends on where you're locking it up, how long, are you going to take it on every ride? Thanks, I should have specified this when asking the question. I normally am planning to ride it in neighborhoods which are safe enough - and commuting to work, where I'd be able to lock it properly in a bike room. I'm fully aware you can't really get an unbeatable lock, but what I'm aiming is to get something good enough to stop occasional thieves from snatching it, when I i.e. stop to get a coffee on the way to where I'm going. I live in a rather sparsely populated area and I'm not planning to take that bike to big cities. Thanks for all the answers so far.

It's a gravel bike (Canyon Grizl) for rides on trails around where I live, with some random commute squeezed during the summer. Commute is ~20 miles, so we're talking about me doing it twice a year and calling it done  I've got really good access to bike paths out of my neighborhood even (Rocky Mountain front range) and it feels like a waste of good paths not doing anything with that.I'm planning to get a second set of tires tbh, but road riding isn't the main purpose of the bike. I just want to take care of it properly once I finally decide to do that.
