I do get to park my bike inside the building in a secure room with keycard access, if i had to lock it outside, i'd use my 10 year old trek 6500 mtb. I find that my specialized ride is so smooth and graceful i can't imagine anything beating it. I mean, i just pedal and i go.. and go and go and then i'm home. I've had 1 flat on the way to work.. actually 1 flat since i've owned the bike lol
