Remove the front wheel and take it with you. Drip wax into all hex headed bolts. Lock the rear wheel and the frame in a heavily travelled area. Use a good U-lock.
I'd ask my boss if I could take in to the office. |

Unless you have a long commute, then if all else fails get yourself a cheap hack bike that thieves won't target and won't matter too much if they do.

Nooooooo, sacrilege! Non-believers, please please, don’t hurt the Madone like that, I think you will break its spirit.

Yes, some people can't afford a second bike. I sholud also clarify, I will not be commuting to work but around my town and to school (which I guess is where I work).
