These are all great things to consider, thanks to everyone for giving such thorough answers. It seems there's a lot of experiences out there that suggest that you can't be too safe. Now, I don't have a very expensive bicycle, but I don't want to lose it at all. I really like some suggestions like the one TenSpeedV2 posted, I think that could definitely be an option for me. However, Marcus Ti said something about being able to take your bike into the office. Oh how I wish that I had that kind of job! I am going to take a job as a guitar instructor in the city, and in my experience you usually just get a little practice space to yourself, but if they would let me take it inside, I would feel the most comfortable. I'll definitely keep reading all of these over again to see if I can gather any more information.
