I lock up my bike all over the city. And I want a quick way to secure it. The bike isn’t expensive or specially attractive. But I want to deter casual thieves whilst having a convenient solution. Currently I have a 1.8m, non coily cable type lock that can go round trees and through frame and wheels. I’ve been considering a chain type, but that is harder to poke through spokes. And finding one long enough is not easy. Carrying it when riding should be easy too. Any tips appreciated.

That’s the one I recommend for everybody, now…
Sufficiently long, sufficiently secure, & manageable.
If that’s too heavy, do check the weight & make a mock of that weight, to try on you while riding, then get the next-lower-security equivalent from Kryptonite, with the integrated chain, which is the same length ( if they have one ).
Ride forever, eh?
steel-wire “locks” can be snipped, with handheld shears. They are NOT security. Neither are “bumpable” locks: only disc-locks can be recommended, now.
