F. I wrote this thread before 8am, leave me alone. PARANOID. Got it. Spell check on my iPhone didn’t catch it lol. All bikes in Hawaii have to be registered. So it will definitely be getting that. And I’ll ask some shops around here about bike insurance. I would at least want it just while I’m here. ---

I completely understand spending big bucks on equipment if it’s for something you really enjoy. A friend of mine does a bunch of bike races and marathons and last I heard I think he had over $5k in his bike. But he wouldn’t ride that bike to class and try locking it to some shitty university provided bike rack. Yeah, your lock might be drillproof, cutproof, fireproof and bomb proof but what about the shitty steel rack you’re locking it to? ---

I’m laughing at people who think $1000 is an expensive bike. $1000 is a set of wheels for a bike. ---
