Might be worth asking (and noting the overall benefits of cycling--reduced parking pressure, traffic, pollution, the whole spiel...). Ya never know. And if you're so inclined, make an issue of it.
(and good luck with physical thing)
Thanks folks for the moral support.
I spoke to the guy who runs our fitness centers and they have the same policy--they make exceptions for bike commuters. Whew!
He's asked me to reduce my stuff down to one locker (I currently use two half-height lockers). His request is reasonable, I guess, but I'm still coping with having reduced from 3 to 2 when I moved to this building. Add the fact that my lockers were free in the old building and I have to pay $8/month now and overall I'm not happy.
Monday I start looking for lockers elsewhere in this building.
