how to lock your bike?

I am trying to figure out how to lock my bicycle properly. seems all the internet videos I found deal with bike racks that you can secure both the front and the back wheel. like a n shaped rack.

the back rack near my office are the ones you rest the front wheel on it to support your bike, so there are really nothing near the rear wheel other than other bikes.

What would be a good way to lock my bike? I have a cable lock and an U lock..

    I would use the cable to lock the front wheel to the bar then providing the U lock is long enough use it to then lock the front wheel to the frame.

    The usual way is to use a long U lock to lock the back wheel and frame to an object and then lock the front wheel with the cable one, or at least that's what I do.

    Make sure the chain you are using goes around whatever object you're chaining your bike to, through the wheel, and around your forkes/frame. That way someone cant just undo the wheel and take the rest of your bike
