If I were still at the job with the outside bike rack, I'd have it all to myself for the next five months. Other riders never got their bikes out until April or May. It was aggravating to see MY spot taken, or crowded, after riding all winter. (The rack is 12 feet long; can you park a foot further away from MY end of the $1*n(# rack!?!)
Now, as soon as the weather clears up, my bike will be comfortably parked in my office!
