> Thanks for the tip.  I've seen some disc locks with alarms built in - are they effective? (seems to me I read a thread on this, and some people felt they were on a hair trigger and subject to false alarms).

Also, does anyone have any tips on the best posture for riding? (I've never had a bike where I've leaned over before).  Do you keep your back straight?  Slouch over forward?
