Would you guys recommend I take the bike into the shop just to be sure that nothing is wrong before continuing to commute?
Hard call there. If the bike seems to work OK, I'd probably not take it in. Most of the bike shops around here offer a free check-up after the first month (mention then) , if yours does the same, I'd wait it out unless you feel you have a problem.
