Sort of. The cages are in the corners of the first level of the parking garage. There's overhang from the structure, but otherwise open air. The $30 mainly keeps the bike out of direct contact with the public.
Thanks for your input everyone. I'm leaning towards getting a kryptonite new york 3000 or one or two onguard minis and risking the street rack.
Also: I've been noticing all these abandoned u-locks on racks all around the city - sans bikes. What's the story there? Wouldn't taking the bike also correspond to making the lock disappear, too?
