Be flashy! Wear your clacky shoes and do the road shoe duck walk with pride! So let em stare. I get wierd looks at market all the time.I just pretend that Im famous and everyone is amazed Im shopping!!
Just make sure you secure all wheels and saddle. I saw a sad pic of a trek the other day. It was missing everything but the middle part

I've been riding my road bike (I call her Ole' Blue) to school. I've loved it!!! I just hope that it stays below 90 for a little longer

Just concurring with the masses
Ride the bike you love riding
I ride my training bike, my race bike and my TT bike depending on what I want out of the commute. I have contemplated getting a commute bike, but no... I like the bikes I ride!
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

I like having beater commuter bikes that I can lock up anywhere. I have two-an old trek mtb covered in very obvious stickers so it won't get stolen and a rusty steel frame fixie that I just adore riding-but I don't have a secure place to put my nice bikes, so I'm forced to ride the bad ones.
If you like your road bike, ride it! But I personally like my beaters for the peace of mind that I can lock them up anywhere and noone would look twice at them.

This made me laugh out loud. I'm going to start thinking this way too!
