As for your gf, I suggest she find something from the 80s or 90s on Craigslist and ride that to campus.[/

There's a lot of reasons why bicycles aren't allowed inside - liability, insurance, fire codes, cleanliness, etc. We can't say a bicycle is a vehicle and deserve the same rights as cars on one hand and then think it's acceptable to bring them inside with perhaps greasy chains to stain furniture and peoples clothes.
A bicycle causes less disruption than a wheel chair. I think the problem is some people's Mom would never let them bring their bike in the house. I have never got my chain on furniture or clothes at work.
