Hey there!

I'm new here too and ride about the same distances you do. One thought - can you stash your bike somewhere in the office? or in the hospital, maybe a break room or cleaning closet? I've been riding to work twice a week and just stick mine right next to my desk. I think it's easier to just do it than to ask. I have only been told to move it once, and that was due to IT needing to get behind it... It makes a good decoration too.

Have fun!
