Ride my mission to school, put it indoors, only the teachers have the keys to the storage room : D and most teachers have seen my bike.

never had a problem with my p2, bottlerocket, or shred. it depends on the type of school/community. always lock the frame, not just the wheels. park farthest from the street( less attention) , don't be the kid who people hate, if your a dick to everyone in the bike rack you'll prolly get your bike messed with. make sure that you park your bike sideways, (frame touching bike rack) and not just one wheel in the rack. , keep your combo/keys a secret and use a quality lock

and by quality lock... he means NOT a kryptonite combo lock... pretty easy to break them with your bare hands


one kid thought it would be funny to deflate my tire... caught the little shit in the act... Oh the look on a 120lb freshman's face when confronted by a 230lb Junior lol
He got to pump it up in front of his friends lol
