Is it worth buying a bicycle for getting into town or is it just going to get stolen?

Hey. I'm thinking of buying a bicycle to commute into and out of town (Strathclyde Uni to be specific). How bad are the odds of it getting nicked if I use on-street bicycle parking and secure it with a couple of decent bicycle locks?

Since I don't currently have a bike, I'm trying to gauge whether to bother buying one, and if so -- whether to get something super cheap, or to justify splashing out on an e-bike. Not much point getting something nice if it's just going to get stolen.

Thanks :)
