WWYD- New ebike won't fit in bike locker
I decided to get an ebike to ride to and from work on the days I need to be in the office since it's only 4 miles away and I'm trying to find ways to get more incidental activity. I was concerned it wouldn't fit in the outdoor bike lockers I got so rode there today to practice and check it out and the ebike won't fit inside 😩
WWYD? I work at a government building with security inside. We cannot bring bikes inside (though I'm going to double check on this). There are a lot of non-employees meandering about the main parking lot and front area where there are racks I could lock my bike up to.
Here are the options I'm thinking I have:
- Lock to rack outside building, remove battery and bring inside every time. I have a good kryptonite u lock with chain but I know no locks are theft proof.
- Return the bike and try to find something smaller? The bike I got has fat tires - I'm a larger person and plus I wanted to be able to go on trails with my kids. Overall preference.
- Remove front tire every time so it fits in the locker. They aren't quick release.
- Jump ship and just pay for parking and drive ☹️
Maybe there are others I'm not thinking of. TIA.
