"I locked inside the garage on Monroe at Wells (187 W Monroe) for years no problems ever. There are always a lot of people hanging out near there as a deterrent and also none of the bikes are visible from the street. Enter through the main…"

Brian S replied to Jaik S.'s discussion Bike Parking in the loop"I work here and go between the buildings all the time. First, make extra, triple sure you use good ulocks - a couple of my co-workers have had their bikes stolen when using cables. Second, it gets really crowded, so arrive early during good…"
Jaik S. replied to Noah Kleinschmidt's discussion Meetup at Beermiscuous Saturday 2/2"Sounds fun, but....I'll be at Chicago Ale Fest - Winter edition(evening session). If you like beer, this is a lot of fun. They have a ton of beer, lots of samples to get. There's also some food trucks. Last winter was at Navy Pier, Summer…"
Apie (11) replied to Jaik S.'s discussion Bike Parking in the loop"They don't allow you to enter the garage through the driveways, you need to take the freight down. But....you can save time when leaving through that south garage exit up the ramp!"
Jaik S. replied to Jaik S.'s discussion Bike Parking in the loop"I currently have three or so dimpa bags with holes in the bottom from flying. They're pretty much single use for airlines. I recently upgraded to the b&w small box..works perfect."
Jaik S. replied to Jaik S.'s discussion Bike Parking in the loop"Hello! I made it through the first day and inquired about bicycle parking. My building is 227 W. Monroe. They have secured parking, requiring your I'd badge and a sticker for the bicycle(I asked for three stickers). I'll check it out…"
Apie (11) replied to Jaik S.'s discussion Bike Parking in the loop"I am sorry to hear that! The facilities in my building are A+. On the 18th floor, next to the fitness center. My last building (227 west Monroe) has a locked entryway to the bike room which is in the heated garage. I am…"
Adam Z replied to Jaik S.'s discussion Bike Parking in the loop""I happen to randomly park next to people that really have no idea how to lock up."
Ah, from the "I don't have to outrun the bear" school of thought..."
V W replied to Jaik S.'s discussion Bike Parking in the loop"Indoor bike parking isn't always all it's cracked up to be- IMO. The parking in my building takes forever to get into and out of, so I just park it outside anyway."
Apie (11) replied to Jaik S.'s discussion Bike Parking in the loop"Did you scope out that spot? I hope you get the good word that there is indoor parking in your building!"
David P. replied to Jaik S.'s discussion Bike Parking in the loop"Jaik, I can't help with the parking question (I have my own secure parking in the Loop, but it's not public) but your Brompie seems tailor-made to solve this problem! Just pack a Dimpa bag or similar and zip it up when you carry it in on a…"
Jaik S. replied to Jaik S.'s discussion Bike Parking in the loop"I'm looking for a beater for some rollers in the basement. Even for bad bikes, this time of year is terrible for selling."
Jaik S. replied to Jaik S.'s discussion Bike Parking in the loop"My steed is the beautiful orange one. I have only used the Abus Bordo Granite X 6500(that's a mouthful) on my bicycles for the past six or seven years. It's expensive, but people don't really mess around with it. My Brompton has the…"
Jaik S. replied to Jaik S.'s discussion Bike Parking in the loop"That will basically be on the way from the blue line. I'll check it out on the way in."
Jaik S. replied to Jaik S.'s discussion Bike Parking in the loop"Passing on the ride in tomorrow. I was riding tonight, picking up some things from the store and my bike shot out from under me on some black ice. Should have rode the ICT. Thankfully it was in a parking lot."
Gage B. replied to Jaik S.'s discussion Bike Parking in the loop"i certainly hope this photo isnt how you lock your bike up!!!!!"
