I went through this at my campus. We were told, in a memo from facilities administration, that having bicycles in the building was a hazard and against the fire code. So I wrote the fire department and they said that bicycles were not a hazard as long as they weren't parked blocking an exit and got the fire inspector to say, in writing, that my bicycle parked in my office was not a fire hazard. So they had to retract their claim that it was a fire hazard and then they invented the "tripping hazard" line, and so it goes. I'm giving them real grief because sustainability is part of the strategic plan including encouraging bicycling. I'm now on a University committee that is looking at the facilities budget for ways to cut costs. I'm pushing for cutting some positions in facilities administration.
