Harris Cyclery maintains the late Sheldon Brown's comprehensive cycling website, which details his recommended locking procedure: a small U-lock looped through the rear rim.
A well-informed article published by BicycleSource.com called "Choosing A Lock" discusses basic styles of locks and points out pluses and minuses of each.
This 2004 article in The New York Times article describes how a Bic pen could pick a U-lock. Kryptonite claims to have replaced over 400,000 locks through their voluntary lock-exchange program following the revelation.
Practical advice on how to lock up and what to do if your bike is stolen is available at BicycleUniverse.info.
