Absolutely I tried looking for a cheap rideable bike and found none below $100. The ones that were $10 or $20 were wheel-less rust buckets that needed a ton of work I needed a bike to ride everyday not fix up over time in my garage. I also have an 83 Miyata 610 but I'm sure as heck not leaving that outside everyday.

This was actually a good area suburban station and many other decent bikes are parked there every night so I felt pretty safe leaving it there. Plus I thought that was what the lock and chain were for.
