Good to know. Sadly, snow will not be gone here for 4+ months.

It's just that right now I have no bike, I want one by the time the snow is gone. Loaned my Specialized XL MTB to a friend when I went on a long road trip last summer and it was stolen when he did not lock it up and just put it in an alley behind the building where he works.
