I've asked this before but my mind still isn't made up.

Is riding a fifteen hundred dollar road bike to school practical/overkill?
I have a fahgettaboudit mini u-lock with insurance and a cannondale mini u-lock
with a four foot long cable lock
I plan to use all three locks to secure my bike.

I really don't want to drive to school.

I spent so much money on this bicycle but I feel that if I DO ride it to school,
I'd be getting more of my money's worth by using it everyday.

But is it practical or safe? Should I spend another cruel self earned 400 dollars to
buy a commuter bicycle and save my road bike for the occasional group ride/sport etc?

I know the guys down at the road bike forum would hate to be reading this. Haha

Can I have one's opinions?
