Sheldon Brown is the man. Don't let the awful web design deter you: you can learn a ton of stuff about bikes on his site.

Back wheel is costlier to replace (due to gearing, assuming it's not a fixie/single speed), so I prioritize locking the back wheel if I can only do one.

If you have quick-release axles and don't want to worry about having your wheels stolen, most bike shops have security axles, which have a special key to loosen the axle. I've used them in the past for some extra peace of mind. Just dont lose the key(s)!

EDIT: if you get a LONG, beefy chain lock, you can carry it around your torso like one of those ammo belts. Convenient to not need a backpack or pannier for short trips. Be prepared to spend some $$ on a good lock. It's a great investment.

Lol, looks like it would be a slog but I'd still love to try it out.

Some people have zero respect for their own lives, and by extension, any living thing. Money insidiously affects all, whether you're a have or a have not.

We must try our best to nurture and understand our world instead of "conquering" it.

Don't flush roaches, they wreak havoc at the sanitation plant. Remember the Three C's of stuff that regularly plugs up the sanitation system: Cockroaches, Condoms, Corn.
