six years is a long period i have a feeling you won't be lost in our traffic 
keeping a bike is a question. mostly people use secured garages or parking lots. as you settle in a center all will depend on a house type. if old stalinka there may be all dvor secured (if small enough) by a locking bar. if it's a modern builing you'll have an undeground parking and no headache at all. if anything else - find a closest secured parking lot.
before choosing adress get aware of traffic coordination with your place of work - as i told before much has changed and old routes may have disapeared.
yeh - talking to russians try not to use any form of word " civilised" talking on any aspect of our country's life. replace it by "western-style" or even better "european-style". in modern situation americans have to be very accurate in speaking - at least not to be involved in a loud and long discussion on bush's anti-terrorist policy.
better talk about i-phones and apples next gadget with gps tracker and bikes of course.
