I know a lot of you have quite expensive bikes that would bring tears to your eyes if they were pinched, but how do you go about securing them on a daily basis?

Indeed, what do you use your bikes for? Those who commute every day, do you have a cheaper alternative for such a purpose? As I understand some individuals only take out their expensive kit without it ever leaving the sight, solely to ride on trails, etc. and not commute.
 
I'm trying to decide if it's worth me getting a cheap commuter bike also.

Currently looking at an ~£800 Cube which I want to use for fun, but also commuting to work (not a problem as I take it inside) but also for locking up at the local woods whilst I go for a run as it takes a good 45 minutes to walk there. It's namely locking such a bike up every morning at the woods which concerns me. But it would be covered on household, so perhaps I should just stop thinking about a cheaper second bike, buy a good lock instead and go with the flow?

As for 'cheaper' bikes, I was looking at these:

They'd be quite handy for if/when I pop to town/pub/whatever as there's simply no way I'd want to risk locking the expensive kit up in town. However, I'm so used to walking now, I don't think there's any point anyway! I think I'm literally just looking at a bike to play with, commute to work and to get to the local woods and the only security risk is the latter.
