If you're saying the approved device is my bike or the lock, then no. You cannot bring your bike inside the building under any circumstances.

It's no big deal for me, I'll just bring two locks. I usually have my cheapie Kryptonite u-lock on me, plus the chain. I was just feeling too lazy to bring it today. Too bad for me- I had to wait 5 minutes to get management to come out and explain the situation to me, then get them to unlock the bike. It was just a surreal situation, that's all.

Sam, how long does it take to snap a chain that thick?

I have my two Kryptonite Ulocks- they are dead locks, and Kryptonite wanted me to send the locks back to be replaced, but I'm thinking I will get them to let me bring it in to Performance and trade them in for new ones, then I will use my Kryptonite New York 2000 U lock and the Kryptonite New York 2000 chain. Now, if they STILL break through all that, at that point, they can have the freakin' bike! Short of strapping it to my back, I can't see what more I can do. I never lock it anyplace unless it's a secure, visible location. That HAS to be as much as I can do without appearing obsessive about security.
