Hey dcoli,
Nice to meet you on the path yesterday. I'm the one with the bent Mu SL. Even my bike, which is twice the size of yours, comes into the Columbia library with me, it also goes up into my office and into the classroom. Just get a slip cover, and no one will complain. You can get one from Thor for $20. You can spend the money on a nice pair of Marathon Racers for that little bike. Now I want one.
