I sometimes go to the public library and they only have one bike rack, the problem is you can only put the front tire in the opening and that's it. I don't want to remove the front wheel ( QR) because if there are some other bikes nearby, I may have to be a contortionist to put it back on when I am ready to leave. There are no poles around that I can lock it to, but right next door, there is a community police station, should I go there and ask if I can leave my bike for a while? How much should I offer them to let me keep it there for a while ( 1hr- 1 1/2 hours.

What about getting a long cable lock so you can get the wheels and the frame?
I wouldn't see any real reason not to ask the police station, although I'm not sure about making a habit out of it unless you get to know the guys who work there.

iamlucky, I can already get the wheels and the frame, but I still don't like to leave it alone, especially for any length of time, I may check out the police station tomorrow. :beer:
