Well.. Iīll never left the bike outside locked to a lightpost. My friend lost his bike that way, apparently a thief came with a metal cutting scissor and bye bye bike. But I ride mostly in the safe area of Lima and I always go to buildings with parking spaces.

Yeah I could totally be careful with the tires. If Iīm going to pick a road bike I donīt know if I should spend $700 for the carbon fiber o $200 for the old trek ( doing a little research i found that model is from 1995-1998, so Itīs really old or as some of us say a classic lol )
