I like the idea of bike shops, I need to stop in a couple of them this week. @Seattle Forest, the ride is very slightly up and down, nothing too difficult, but there is a lack of sidewalk or a bike lane for most of the trip, that is my biggest concern, I think it's two lanes (one direction, 4 total) most of the way, and the morning rush can be scary. @Kojak, our particular campus is fairly secure, we have tons of concrete reinforced bike racks and campus police running around. Not to mention I have the huge cable lock and key from a previous cheapo bike I rode around campus, that broke. BUT I do however agree with you, I don't want attention from would be thieves.
