At home I park in a packed bike room, making it difficult to get in and out, and usually have to move bikes to the side to fit mine in. Whenever I finally find a good spot that is easy to get into and out of, I get to use it for about 2 weeks before someone new moves in while I am at work, and locks their bike there and never, ever, moves it. Then I'm back to spending 2-3 minutes just trying to lock or unlock my bike to a rack, and it is months before a new good spot opens up.

I want to make a rack just for daily commuters, since there are only 4-5 of us. But I bet people will use it anyway saying "I'm going to commute" and quitting after one day. Ultimately I'll have to lead an effort to eliminate the abandoned bikes like we did 5 years ago.
