Steele-Bike,
I have that same dilemma. Not only does my firm NOT
allow bikes, but the building itself doesn't allow them. They claim that if I'm allowed, then all the messengers in NYC can bring their bikes into the building. I am more than willing to carry my bike and take the freight elevator, but there is no solution other than commuting to work by taking a VERY crowded bus and two 'sardine-like' crowded subway lines to work everyday.
I get to work exhausted just from the 'rat race' of commuting! At least biking to work would make everything so much better, just read Pete's messages!
