Thanks so much for everyone's help, I REALLY appreciate it. I checked out the bike, really like it. The good thing about parking is that I would park my bike by the vet school, so it's not in undergrad territory. I was worried about leaving my bike, but I guess a few people commute and leave them there and no one has run into problems. What I love about my cypress is that it feels light to me so it's not too much work to ride around. Since I don't know much about bikes - is this a good bike? I mean, if I wanted to use it as a road bike for the next 4 years just recreationally? Is it sold yet? I am seriously thinking about it.

Thanks again, everyone!!
