Unfortunately I'm short, 5'2". It makes it hard to buy used bikes off craigslist that fit me, since I can't just hop on a men's bike, make a few adjustments and call it a day. Expect obsessive posts in the future about best way to find a cross bike for a short lady

The security guards rotate, but most of them seem to know me since I am the ONLY bike commuter and only person coming in in bike clothes. I do say good morning, although I have facial recognition issues (lol, for serious) so I don't KNOW most of them. That said, I think they probably would look out for my bike -- although they obviously can't be responsible for it, and I'm actually not sure they would even be allowed to confront someone taking it? But, a thief wouldn't know that, and anyone with a brain would figure there are cameras covering the entrance of a fed building (which, there are). Foot traffic INTO the building is solely employees, any guests have to sign in. Even though we are in a strip mall its pretty rare that outsiders even walk by the entrance, since we are off to the side of the stores.

I'm also mildly concerned if I start parking my bike there regularly I'll be told I'm not allowed to, so I'm thinking of trying it out with the hybrid before I upgrade...

GLITTERY PURPLE! That is awesome.
