Drive to a municipal lot in town, park, ride. Done. Wash, rinse, repeat tomorrow. Well, use my advice at your own risk.

How old are you? Your parents love you, consider yourself lucky.

I went through the same thing with my parents 6 years ago. One morning, I kissed my mom, said "I'll call you when I get there", and got on the bike. If you convince your parents to let you, use your head, and don't ever let on to any close calls you may have had.
