Storing your bike at work

Are you one of those New Yorkers who rides a bike to work? does your work place allow you to store your bike on the premises? Apparently the city is encouraging this green mode of transportation but the building owners are playing spoil sport and putting a spoke in the wheel by trying to ban bikes from buildings.Our apartment building has a special bike room for the residents bikes and I know many other residential buildings also offer this facility in this city then why the fuss at commercial buildings?

No. I don't own a bike. But there is a tenant in the building where I live and she rides her bike to work. She chains it up in the lobby sometimes, or against the side of the building.

There's so little space around, it's a real drag to find storage space for bikes, no matter how green you want to be. I know I grumbled when I saw a bike stored in our stairwell because I think it's an imposition on the other residents to expect to leave a bike in common areas.

Until biking really catches on as a mode of transport in the city, it will continue to be a big drag.

One of my friends recently had their bike stolen from the stairwell, where it was left in front of their fourth floor walk-up - so I can understand the necessity of bike storage in the basement, however annoying it may be.

@ajadedidealist I think it's the same in our building where the bike room is on the basement level, the only difference is that we have a back door from where you can leave with your bike after having returned the key to the doorman.
