The cable is the weakest point so that'd get cut rather than a padlock. It's more of a deterrent to opportunists grabbing a wheel than something to stop someone with tools, and the lock itself is to deter people without good tools or time, just whack it through the lock, one loop and itself if you need more length to get it through both wheels if the lock won't go through one.
