I've been wanting to start commuting by bike again. It's been a long time since I've done it, and I'm only about six miles away, over mostly flat ground. There are a few hills to climb, but they aren't bad at all, and I know the back streets fairly well. And it's even more compelling in that while it might only take 15 minutes to drive home, more than 5 of them are spent idling in traffic ( on an average good day ), mostly to cross a bridge.

I don't think they'll let me bring my bike inside the building. I used to leave it outdoors when I biked to work in SF, and stopped commuting when my (not quick-adjust) seat was stolen. Plus, I live in Seattle now, where it's rainy. I keep my bike indoors in my shoebox apartment, so I'm not very keen on leaving it outdoors for eight hours while I'm working. And yes, I ride in the rain.

So I'm curious how many people get to store their bike indoors, even nearby their desks, and how many have to keep the bike out in the open?
