At our college, we have a dirth of racks. It really stinks.
And if we chain our bikes to stairwells, public safety comes and cuts the lock and confiscates the bike (safety issues.)
I feel bad for the students, and I am freaking out because our office moves across campus in a week and I will lose a primo indoor basement lock up location. *SIGH.*

My feeling is, if a bunch of people ask, eventually, they'll put more racks in.
