Thinking about buying a beginner friendly road bike for commuting purposes (mostly to go to a gym, swimming pool, etc). This may be a dumb question but where/how do you park your bikes? Worried that it would get stolen and wonder if it is worth getting one if my main purpose of getting one is to get to places.

Not a dumb question. First, make sure your bike is registered, even if you don’t think it’ll ever get stolen. Then, a city bike rack is easiest; don’t lock your bike to someone else’s bike. Always make sure your lock goes through the frame and around the thing your locking too. I typically put my bike parallel to the rack, and run my Krypto chain lock around the seat tube and through the rear wheel. Make sure that thing is real, solid, attached to the ground or wall. If you can get your lock around a crank, even more secure. Always lock the frame. They make bolt-locks (“pinwheel” locks I think they’re called) for your wheels and seat post, if you want the extra peace of mind (I do). Remove any accessories, they’re easy to forget. Do not be afraid to invest in your lock, but keep in mind the heavier it is, the stronger it is, and the stronger you’ll need to be hauling it around with you (vs a u-lock *snip snip*).
