This is a major issue for kids who are serious cyclists and people who just want to use their bikes to commute. When my younger son left to go to U of A in Tucson, he went with the intention of continuing to race. He had a brand new carbon custom bike that was his graduation present. He found out that he could not keep his bike in the dorm and that sent him into a real spiral with several phone calls back and forth to the dean from my husband. There was a locked area inside a parking garage, but he did not want the bike to be exposed in any way to the elements, especially the dust/wind whipping through the garage in a desert climate. The cycling team laughed and said,"Oh yea, every year some poor freshman gets caught keeping their bike in the room." So, this is what he did. he kept it inparts under his bed. He convinced the RA to look the other way. But eventually, it wore on him and he stopped riding.
