I have a rad runner, with it I use a wheel lock, long security chain which bolts into said wheel lock, and then a folding lock I use as well with all that. My hope is all that overkill'll just deter a thief entirely. If anything it'll buy time for me to catch them in the act and chase them away.
What stops them from just lifting the entire bike away? (especially given that it's so light). Of course, the obvious solution is to chain it to something, but not every location has a convenient place to chain your bike (without it getting in the way of pedestrians etc).
The rad runner is 70+ lbs, while not necessarily heavy, it is cumbersome to move around when both tires are immovable from the wheel lock (through rear wheel) and folding lock (through front wheel, bike frame, & bike post). Where I live there is always a bike post conveniently located nearby to lock it to.
