  1. You definitely want a U-lock. Cable locks only deter people who would not "otherwise" be bicycle thieves. If you use a single U-lock only (which is probably fine unless you have some unusually fancy accessories), the best locking method is to lock both the rear wheel AND the frame (the side that extends from the seat to the pedals) to a rack or secure signpost (so, 3 things inside the closed lock's "U": frame, wheel, and rack). This requires a largish U-lock but it's definitely doable. This does leave your front wheel vulnerable though, so if you do tend to leave your bike in not-great areas overnight, you may want to consider extra measures for that.

  2. Give them a couple of weeks' worth of regular (like, every day) riding first. There are types of uncomfortableness that will go away within that period, but if they're still giving you grief after that you might consider upgrading or getting some proper fitting/adjustment advice from a bike shop.

  3. I've had similar worries but no actual incidents (beyond verbal) in three years so far. Mostly I just go for situational awareness and have occasionally taken slight detours or even run through red lights (something I would never ordinarily do otherwise) to avoid suspicious looking situations. Though I like being able to avoid traffic otherwise, being around lots of traffic actually helps with this situation (public witnesses!) if it's particularly troubling to you.

  4. I used to, but not anymore. I might have an upper-temp limit if I didn't have showers at work, but luckily I do. When it's below certain temps in the winter I wear a balaclava . They may look weird, but wow do they make cold weather riding nicer. Also might help with your third bullet point 'cause if you pair that with some sunglasses no one will be able to see your face!

    Finally: check out /r/bikecommuting also! I think they'll have a lot of info there you'll find useful. Happy riding!
