Try to take your bike through a drive through bank or fast food joint. They will not let you do that either. :)

Seems like a car would be more apt to be a bomb me thinks. Plus, people who ride bikes are not generally ones who are prone to blow shet up. Dunno. You heard that you have to be completely naked to go through airport security now right? That's why I BlueFly...

I don't understand why anyone would have any problem with this, except for the "whul-we-aint-never-done-it-like-this" issue.

I take my bike everywhere, even INTO the bank, and I go straight to the nearest security guy and say with a big smile, "Hi, I'm just here to .... You guys are always so good about taking care of me when I have my bike. Do you mind if I just prop it here?" I've never had a problem.

I have got the "You can't do that, our insurance doesn't allow it" before. Not every place is like that though.

Insurance. It is a liability. My high school chemistry teacher was manager @ McD's too.

re:you not having a problem bringing your bike in with you....you are a middle aged woman....try doing that being a younger guy. My mom takes her bike in the grocery store & uses her basket on her rack as a shopping cart & does this all the time. I couldn't get away with that. :rant:

As a side note, the loading dock door was open so I just rode my bike all the way to the elevator down the hall here at work. Dismount just before security guard got a visual.

I am a rebel.
