I have a rather nice 2 year old Ross Mountain Bike.  It lives 
in San Francisco and is very happy (and unstolen).  One of the 
reasons (presumably) for it remaining mine is the lock I use.

I use a Kryptonite K4 lock.  These are *serious* locks.  My K4 
cost $28 with a nice vinyl covered (no scratches) holder which 
fit easily on the frame downtube.  It takes a professional to 
get through a Kryptonite K4.  No kidding.  (Cutting torches work. :-)

I also lock my bicycle to a handy steel pole (parking meters are best)
whenever I am out of arms length of it.  Crazy?  It only takes
30 seconds to put the lock on the bike.  Takes far less to grab it.

And I still have my baby!
