I need pocket radio for AM/FM for the 10 minute bicycle ride into
work. Only has to do the two bands aND FIT INTO My shirt pocket. I
would like digital and lock button,

I am thinking grundig miniworld 100pe or similar radio. Grundig has
mixed reviews so I am asking for opinions.

For just AM/FM, I would highly-recommend the Sony ICFS10MK2 - it is
handsome, rugged, and a great DX'er:

It can be had off SonyStyle.com, J&Rmusic.com, or Amazon.com for about
$10, including shipping:

Most consumers gave it great reviews on Amazon.

I've been using the Sangean DT200V for years. Very sensitive on AM.

They tend to break after a couple years and you have to replace it.
I'm on my 3rd one. Switches cease to function. But I really give
them heavy use.

Yea, I had one that gave out, but they are only $10 - I bought a
handful, so I would always have a newer one to listen to, and have
plenty of backups.

All of the digital AM/FM radios are ugly - plus, the Sony ICF-S10MK2
is analog-tuned an narrowed filtered, so it blocks out some of the
IBOC/IBLOC/IBUZZ on AM. My $25 cheap digital PLL radio is too wide
filtered and picks up too much IBOC/IBLOC/IBUZZ. With nighttime IBOC/
IBLOC/IBUZZ coming, I wouldn't spend too much on a radio, until the
affects of skywave IBOC/IBLOC/IBUZZ are known.

The Grundig Mini 300 PE sucks on AM:

"This is poorer AM performance than a '60s shirt pocket six transistor
radio."
