Yeah, I'm with allaboutmusic on this one. Living in Berkeley, bikes get stolen all the time. Even knew a few folks whose bikes were stolen off their second floor balconies because they weren't locked up.
Get a crappy-looking bike, learn how to maintain it yourself, treat it well, and get a sturdy lock.
I've also never lived anywhere that I could do without multiple gears. Hilly, hilly hills + cruiser = certain death.
