Locking my bike…

My bike, locked.

Here’s a picture of the not so great racks we have at work. As you can see there is absolutely no frame support on these things so they can be very hard to use if you want to lock the frame and a wheel with the U-lock.
On the good side the fencing in the back of the image is part of an area that is completely locked and requires a passcode to enter. To get that code you must be an employee and submit documentation on your bike and such.
In addition, it’s free, so I can’t complain too much, but boy I’d love a rack that was a bit more usable.
In other news my morning commute was great today. I must be getting stronger because even though I’m not pushing it, definitely going slow, my normal route only took 39 minutes. It used to take 45. If it ever gets down to 35 minutes I’m going to have to add a little bit to it so I don’t get to work too early. In truth I expect that I hit the lights well today and not so well on other days – that would account for some of the difference.
