Oh yeah, that.

I decided to lead by example and keep my bike down in the new bike storage room. For the most part, it's been lonely at the top. Most of the organization's staff still park their bikes in our lowly suite. I've typically had the storage room to myself.

The good news is that it's gotten kind of crowded in our suite as it's evolved into a more normal workspace and as others have started commuting. Because of that a couple of others have started keeping their bikes downstairs along with me. About every other day or so, there's another bike in the storage room with mine.

I noticed the building has a new "Energy Star" plaque proudly displayed near the front elevator. I'm sure the bike storage room met part of the requirements for that.

The more exciting news is that a new bike trail expansion is about to be completed and it runs along the back parking lot. In fact part of the lot had to be given up by the building for the construction of the trail. It remains to be seen whether or not a fence will be constructed between the lot and the trail. Hopefully not, or at least there will be a gate put in.

Yes, I am spoiled.
