I just recently got into using a bike for commuting and I was wondering if this is a good way to secure my bike? I know, previously, people would recommend only needing to lock the back tire to a solid object, but I’ve seen videos of people easily cutting the back tire, breaking it and taking the frame/front tire. My method of locking is sort of similar, except I do lock around the splash guard. If this isn’t very secure, I’d have to get a longer ulock or chain, because there doesn’t appear to be an easy way for me to lock around the back tire, frame and solid object with my current ulock. Any suggestions are appreciated.
As others have said, U-lock through frame and rear wheel if possible. Otherwise not bad. I've also taken to using a motion detector alarm on my last bike packing trip.

I can vouch for those alarms! I've got one on all of my bikes an e-scooters. If you've got a rear rack, you can mount it to the underside of the top rack deck, so it's harder to disable. But the alarm + 1 or two locks is a really good option to keep things secure.

Depends on what I've eaten.
Thank you. Corrected 🤗
