Any chance you get to see a copy of the memo the Ex Office will send down to the Security office about allowing bicycles on the hospital grounds?
Somewhere the communication still has to happen that bicycles are NOT banned. Administration may be fine with it, but Security is out on the streets.
Glad to hear that you can catch your bus and have something hot for dinnner other than eggs!Beth

Thanks! Somehow in the middle of all of this I have been lassoed into being a board member of Bike Delaware, the local bike advocate group. Well, they did say they needed an odd member added for voting purposes, and I guess I'm pretty odd.

Congratulations ... and on the advocate note, here is a story about Portland's Senior bike program:

These are adult trikes and provides a way for folks to enjoy cycling and feel they have control and are safe on them.

What a wonderful story and conclusion! I am in awe.
There are times I have been stopped (well, usually on my skateboard) by security guards in odd areas, and felt upset and helpless. If it were to happen on my bike, I can now reference your story in terms of what to do next. Super empowering.
Power trips are annoying. I'm happy to say (knock on wood) that I've only seen it by private fuzz and not police officers. Once we brought a puppy to the Santa Monica Pier carnival area, and a policeman stopped us with a stern voice. We stopped in fear, and he next said "Now, come over here and let me pet this cute little puppy." After a few minutes of sweetness, he kindly told us animals weren't allowed in the carnival, but we could bring him to the rest of the pier.
