It took longer for me to get access to my bike than it did to ride home. My access card didn't work, so I had to walk across campus to the parking office. Then waited for 20 minutes while they messed around with the card. Then walked back to the bike cage with a parking guy, where neither my card nor his worked. So waited for a locksmith to come by, who discovered that the battery that operates the latch was dead. That's about the 5th time in the last year I've been locked out of the cage.
The ride home was quick, with my max speed hitting 45.5km/h.
edit:
While locked out of the bike cage it gave me time to contemplate how I might get into it without a key, then I saw it! Using a pole about the length of a broom handle you could easily reach through the chain link, push the handle down and open the door. Some security!
