I do lend it out.

Now I have just ordered a Specialized Diverge Expert, a $5000 (Canadian dollars) carbon road bike.

I know everyone at work will want to ride it; or at least "try it". Would you lend your expensive bike to an acquaintance or colleague at work?

If your colleague or acquaintance crashes your $5000 bike, cracking your carbon frame, would you hold him/her responsible?
