I was recently lucky enough to get a nice new carbon framed road bike. Not cheap... but a real pleasure to ride. Anyway, I'd love to ride it to work, but... I don't see it being locked in the garage for more than a few months before getting nicked. So I'm still riding my old steel framed beater to work every day...
So what I'm wondering is-
Does your work provide a safe place to keep bikes?
Have you had any issues with garage bike parking?
What alternatives have you found if no safe place is provided?
Could you perhaps paint over the carbon fiber to make it look cheap? Although that might be exactly what you DONT' want to do haha
