And yeah, I'll surely need a good U lock anyway.
Will do. I've heard the bike paths are really good
Yeah, near UCSB.
Yeah, a good lock and use it. Lights too. Fenders wouldn't hurt. You may want to disguise the bike if it's nice, bumble bee stripes, black paint, papier mache, duct tape or something.
Yes, the bike paths are good. Some can be thought of as bicycle freeways. Very high traffic in the mornings.
Have fun!
