I appended a surprise encounter with Shelly, a recumbent guy I met on the Hudson bike path, who had something to say about society's attitude to cyclists ...
FAILED: Price Waterhouse Cooper, 42nd and Madison
Type of building: Several levels of security.
Known policy/insider statement: We've been trying to get the building to let us park/lock our bikes in a secure indoor area since we moved into the building but they have rejected us at every step or pedal.
My approach: Dress nice, stow helmet, attempt to take bike in folded and covered.
Result: Stopped at lobby where you are asked for ID. Guard said "is that a bike?" and asked to see it. "No bikes allowed, folding or otherwise, no matter how small. Baby strollers are OK. Bikes belong outside. No-one rides a bike to an office. Lock it up outside, no one steals bikes, no one touches them, who'd want to ride a bike in NY anyway?"
Later, an outside security guard told me to remove it completely from the entrance where a handlebar was peeking around the corner.
