I just started a new job at 20th & K, went from parking my bike at my desk to this:

No one else brings their bikes up to the studio. I’ll use a U lock but don’t feel still don’t feel secure locking bikes in the building garage. Does anyone know of more secure bike parking in the area? Think a U Lock is enough?

And now you understand why I don’t ride the Cervelo to my current job…

My question would be: how public is the garage? Do only employees of your company park there? Or are “strangers” routinely coming and going through there?

1801 K has a secure bike parking facility — you need a specially coded key card to enter it. I don’t know how non-tenants go about getting access, but you could ask property management (they are located on the L Street side, the next door down from the Nordstrom Rack entrance). The only problem is that the facility is packed during good weather.

I’ll send you a pm about where I park my bike — I feel it is fairly secure.

I don’t trust my fellow employees to not knock it over or park their own bike on top it…you should check out the garage racks at HST, it’s a total s*&tshow.

I’m spoiled at SA-6. Crappy racks, but not overcrowded. Oh, and I have a kickstand.

Thanks Liz, our garage is open to the public. i don’t know enough about who comes / goes. I’ll check out the other garages you mentioned too.

If you are interested in enlisting in the Navy, I can get you a nice spot on the Navy Yard, although you probably would have to spend 6 months on a boat away from your bike from time to time

Would yours be the nicest bike on the rack?

Hard to do laps in the submarine, but is there a cycle track on an aircraft carrier?

No matter which of my fleet I ride in, it is always the coolest.:rolleyes:

P.S. I’ve never had problems in the public garage at 18th and M beyond clumsy fellow cyclists.
