Has anyone ever taken thier bike into a college class instead of locking it up outside? Tried and been denied?
A few months ago I got a CX bike and started doing road rides after MTBing for 15 years, now I want to start commuting. I thought a good way to ease into it would be riding to (my only) class twice a week. It is only 7 miles each way which is half of what it would be to work. Plus my wife is not convinced of my safety riding to work "downtown", but the school is still in the suburbs so this would also help her get used to the idea.
I realize that if everyone took thier bike into the classroom that would not work. However I live in an area with little "cycling culture" so there are VERY few others riding to school and 99.9% of those are on X-mart bikes. Also the "campus" is a satellite of a community college so it is only one 3 story building, and what passes for a bike rack is small, flimsy, and "out of the way"
I am not locking up to that. I REALLY don't want to leave it outside. Thoughts, suggestions? Thanks
