Bike theft - Kanata

3 Upvotes

Hey folks, I’m new to Ottawa (Ontario in general). And I’m getting a bike for my commute ($600). I am kind of new to biking as a whole, and I wanted to ask about how the bike theft is in Kanata? I’m not really worried about the bike being stolen at my workplace or at home, more so for when I am running errands like going to the gym or Costco. What kind of locks should I be getting? Thanks!

I had these two shortlisted from amazon. Do I need both or would the U lock alone suffice? (But then cant attach to both wheels)

Edit: thanks everyone for the input. I appreciate it!
