Parking area isn't great, I have the option of a very busy street corner, just outside the doors of the building, or a long the street/sidewalk by a pedestrian entry to the building. All are wide open in public, but the area is so heavily traveled I'm not sure anyone would notice someone trying to rip a bike off.

Winter riding isn't the be all end all for me, just a nice to have when the streets are decently plowed.
