The guys with the fancy road bikes are likely going to stop riding :-(
One of the areas that the LEED standard uses for scoring is alternative transportation accommodations. This includes secure bicycle storage and nearby changing/shower facilities (something like 500 ft from the bike racks). It sounds like 7WTC traded in their points there and made them up somewhere else.
