I'll snap a pic later, but I don't park outside either. Most of the riders where I work bring their bike into their office, or when it's wet outside there's a space in our ship/rec department which is out of the way from the pallet jack and truck dolly pathways. I usually park down there.
Not many of us ride to work, especially on a consistent basis, so it's not like there is competition for space inside. Working in a building at the top of a 15% grade seems to deter a lot of people from riding to work.

also, we have a ton of angular buildings with overhangs that people chain/park their bikes under to keep them from getting wet. however, by my office there's a huge amount of competition for chaining bikes under the overhang, so I just chain it where I can see it from the window, when i need an inspirational second of freedom

Go to the Philadelphia area this week and visit family I haven't seen in over a year because I was overseas for six months. While there I will get in one or two rides around the Philadelphia area. Also my wife and I will want to see the new Barnes Museum. I saw the old one years ago but my wife never has. Might ride over to Camden to see the Battleship New Jersey. I've never been on one.
Next Spring we will go back to Europe to visit for a couple of weeks. I'd like to work in a ride on the Mosel highway from Trier to Cochem, Germany during Happy Mosel Weekend in May, an event that clears the 144km road free of motorized traffic with Wine Fests in every village along the way. I've done it 3 times in the past and is probably the best all day ride I ever have done. Outside of that, nothing planned but local bike riding and watching lottsa movies from Netflix.
Thanx for asking.

We have a decent bike rack at my office. It's covered and located near an exit with a security camera.

At a now unoccupied neighboring desk.
ETA: My boss saw me come in with my bike for the first time today, me in a ratty t-shirt looking like a drowned rat due to the 90% humidity. Her comment, "Good for you!"

This pic is from a couple years ago when I parked outside my cube. Now they placed a cabinet in my spot, so I put the bike in my cube on the rear desktop.

I need to find more about that and convince the wife to do it - that is where her family and friends live. Lots of wonderful festivals in that part of Germany. They know how to have a good time along the Mosel!

Pictures are strictly regulated where I work, but the building has a cubicle set aside for bicycles, there are typically 4-5 parked there on any given day.
I'm going to probably see if I can find a separate spot for mine once I get the fairing on it (recumbent) to keep people from scratching it up. The people here are pretty rude and cavalier about moving my bike around becuase I have a side stand on it, and I don't trust them not to bang it up.

we have a grade as well of about 10% for the last km and it deters some people
also, we have a ton of angular buildings with overhangs that people chain/park their bikes under to keep them from getting wet. however, by my office there's a huge amount of competition for chaining bikes under the overhang, so I just chain it where I can see it from the window, when i need an inspirational second of freedom

For some reason, I cannot see your pictures when I click on the link.

Descends like a rock
Mine is the one on the left. I used to be the only crazy bike commuter here. Now there's 4 of us.

Fortunate to have bike lockers:
I took this pic a few weeks ago to send to HR, tired of the smokers setting up their break area next to the bike lockers.

By the broken light table at the back of the shop. I chain it around the support beams when the bay door is left open.
My "pannier" is an army surplus doctors bag tied to the rack with shoelace; this is my cheapo beater and I love it.

I dont know how to make the image bigger but if you can see it my bike is in the water softener room/meeting room storage at my work (hotel)
Next is post you bike on top of a hill or on the bike path think of something clever like that. Not saying at work is not clever.
post a pic of your bike somewhere ideas needed to keep this going.

Second, in the "Insert Image" dialog box, select the "From URL" tab, UNcheck "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" (this is the important part), then type or paste in the image's web address.
NOTE: Resize your photos to something reasonable first.
