If you already have a good pedestrian vehicle: a good bike lock.

I (and lockpicking lawyer) recommend the kryptonite evolution. Good balance of price and protection.

For a step up I recommend the kryptonite fahgettaboutit.

Either way, bolt cutters aren't getting in, and portable angle grinders will take a little while because the chain is annoying to grind.

I see too many expensive bikes chained up with thin little locks.

The evolution costs as much as my very good MTB...
Yup! That recommendation is at best for those >2000โ‚ฌ bikes at best

This is the one I'm talking about, $75

Kryptonite Evolution 1055 Mini 10mm Chain Bicycle Lock , Black https://a.co/d/0xjPXNw

If your bike is worth over $300 then imo it's worth it, now that every douchebag has a mini bolt cutter in their backpack (around here)
