on a second thought... i might as well just get a cheapo u lock for dropping it off around my desk at school. other than that- it won't be left anywhere outside of my apt... well not a cheapo u lock but not a 70 dollar new york monster lock. but the semi cheaper 40 dollar krypto lock and use the saved money for some bottle cages and bottles. yea, i like that idea... crap so many other things i need and i blew it all on the bike... gar!!!
