While I waited to hear if she was good to go on keeping her bike in one of the empty classrooms (they were *all* empty), the security gaurd passed by me through the entry way into the building (building is in a downtown area by the way), rudely said "You can't keep that here"... but, yeah, I had no intentions of leaving my bike in the entry way anyways. I wasn't even going inside the building, not sure why he thought I was going to leave it there... I'm pretty sure it was obvious I was going to be leaving. So I just told him "I'm simply waiting for someone, then I'll leave". So, while my wife is on one of the upper floors getting everything situated, the same security gaurd goes over to her, tells her "it's school policy to not allow bikes in the building". I'm not sure, but I'm calling BS. Why wouldn't it be ok for someone to bike commute somewhere and leave his or her bike where it won't be in *anyones* way. Just seems to me that the security gaurd was puffing his chest & ego a little bit - I'm thinking it's his idea, not a policy. Then he tells her there are bike racks outside. Sorry, here in Peoria, there aren't too many nice Cannondales around - let alone nice road bikes. The bike culture is near 0% here - besides me and maybe a handful of ther people. I'm not about to leave her bike, even with a chain, attached to a rickety old bike rack, in the middle of downtown. A--hole.

Is it rude of me to ask to see the school policy to see where this rule is written?
