My work location is not bike friendly......
So I just moved closer to my job (10 miles round trip). So i decided to start commuting on my bike. I bought some slicks for my mtb. then road into work for the first time. I work at a airport and I tried to ride through a access gate (where cars can get throught) and the guard refused me access. I have security badges and all.... I ask why? And he said that it was for vehicles only and that i would have to go through the terminal with my bike to get it onto the aircraft apon (tarmac)... That would be a royal pain in the a**... Theres tons of people, and about 3 doors i would have to go through. ( no metal detectors. thank god). So I did eventually get it through and I started riding my bike on access road and i got pulled over by airport ops. He told me to get off my bike and that personal cyles werent allowed on the airport.... I tried to explain to him that i was on a perimeter acess road (not near the buslte of the airplane operations) and I was in no saftey hazard area... We argued for a bit, i made him quite furious. he called his supervisor who just told me to walk my bike and to not bring it. Defusing the situation for the moment... I'M NOT DONE WITH THIS...

Does any body have any advice for combating this issue?
