I use one of these  or similar, long enough for both bikes, you can wrap it around a post etc and thread one end through the other and then take the other end to the bikes pass throught the wheels and I use a "regular" padlock.
It also works if we want to lock all four panniers together in a dodgy hotel room.
I'm a big believer in the visual deterrent, anything other than a 20kg chain and £100 padlock can be cut through in seconds with bolt cropers or a disk cutter and none of us are going to lug that half way round the world.
As long as it stops someone just pushing the bike down the street or throwing it into the back of a truck then I'll sleep well enough.
Cheers
Pete
