It's Stampede Parade day, so the downtown core is largely blocked off. I expected to have to do some weaving through barricades and past bylaw officers, but I was very annoyed when I was blocked from getting to the secure bike room by a security guard. The parade runs right in front of the building I park my bike in, and they had the parkade doors locked shut. There were actually three of us bike commuters waiting to get in, and they wouldn't open the doors. The security guard said to go lock our bikes up outside somewhere. "Um, how about no, Scott!"

#1, I didn't bring a lock because I don't need one to park in a secure bike room, #2, I pay to park in said secure bike room. I stormed off, walked my bike to the closest set of doors, went into the building, down the stairs to my level and rode to the bike room. Fargin security bastiges!
