    That was awful!!! I cannot believe not one person said a thing.
    Of course even though I might say something, I tend to be overly trusting and if someone said "yes it's my bike I just lost the key" or something I would probably believe them.

    It has become a real problem I think, but unfortunately most people do not want to get involved.

    I left my lock at home today and I had to leave my bike outside of school unlocked. (If I get caught with my bike inside one more time by the safety woman, I am dead!) You know what thought, no one stole it and it was outside from 9- 5 all by its lonesome. Safety woman is gone and bike is inside I was lucky though/ panicky

    Madscot, I've forgotten my lock once or twice and (shamefacedly) brought my bike into the back of the classroom (I'm normally a front-row kind of person). I do not think it would stay around if I left it outside unlocked. The art building on my campus has a grand foyer with a split staircase with a big landing on the first floor. When I had a lecture in it a few semesters ago (during the winter) I used to routinely bring the bike into the foyer and lock it to the outside of the staircase at the bottom (not blocking traffic). No snow to rust my chain! I think I got by with it because various kinds of random installations are indulged in the art building (for years, the 3rd floor women's bathroom door has read, in perfectly stenciled letters, "TWO MEN").

    no uniform, just a scowl. It is considered a fire hazard but the University (Her). The Medical Science building has a lot of uptight people who don't bike. they would not be happy to see me walkig my bike around. My lab on the other hand is very supportive and when you need to bring the bike inside because it is raining, you can see 3 bikes in our little work room. I just don't like to cramp people's space so I decided to risk it. maybe this is my way of asking for a new bike (not!)
