Thanks for your reply, I ended up going to REI, but ultimately, got my deals online.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008SBN2JE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for the shoes. I got a 44, which was a tiny bit small, but ultimately work well so far.
and I went with http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YB31II/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I went with the SPDs because I like the ability to walk easier. As a solo rider around town, I feel the ability to not have to carry a spare set of shoes around pretty valuable to me.
I love them and dont know how I cycled before without them. I've also only forgotten to unclip once, but I saved myself before falling completely over.
I don't have a cam for my bike yet. I don't commute, but still run into lots of situations during recreational riding that I wouldn't mind having video of either just for fun, to show friends some of the beautiful trails we have, or in case I ever need it as evidence. I do have a dashcam in my car and like it. For the bike I'm leaning more towards something like the Contour Roam 2 or even the Mobius because the GoPro seems like it'd be big and clunky (and probably expensive) for mounting to my bike or helmet.
To answer your first question in terms of areas where bike theft happens more, I'd just say avoid areas that are hidden or away from every day pedestrian traffic. Don't lock it up in an alleyway that people never go down.
I have a bike that is about the same price as yours. I've been commuting all over Columbus for five years now and I've never had my bicycle stolen.
I would HIGHLY suggest that you get a good u-lock. That's all you really need. If you're concerned about someone running off with your wheels you can also get one of the u-locks that also have the cable for your wheels. Here is the U-Lock that I bought I've had that lock the entire time and I've had no issues with it.
Also, make sure you lock it to something sturdy. Preferably a good bike rack that you can get your bike lock through the frame of your bike. I prefer to lock it through the back wheel and the and the top bar that goes from the seat post to the back wheel.
Also final word of advice is definitely do not leave your bicycle out over night.
Additional stuff. If you have any stuff on your bicycle, like a light (you should probably get one if you plan on riding at night, and get a nice 550 lumen one), make sure you take them off when you've locked your bike up.
A new bike probably wouldn't make much difference, but there is always Bike Friday! (Awesome folding bikes)
I would use something like THIS for storage (You can make one much cheaper if you're handy.) Just a cheap PVC/metal pipe with some screw on end caps or something that can twist up and put pressure between floor and ceiling.
Don't even worry about dinging up the staircase. They don't give you much choice, and will be repainting periodically anyway.
