Riding a bike around campus/NY?

<p>If you want to just keep your racing bike in dry storage, you’ll want to take off the wheels and use some nails to hang the frame on the wall.</p>

<p>There is room in a carman double to put your bike, but your roommate won’t appreciate it very much. Many dorms have bike racks outside the dorm, but that’s more for temporary or intra-day use than for overnight / long-term stuff. Even if you have the lock you ought to have (get the Kryptonite New York U-Lock from Ricky Morales at the security office for $50), thieves may strip parts or otherwise damage your bike if you leave it out unattended for too long too often.</p>

<p>If you live in hartley-wallach there’s probably some room in the basement. There’s really no room in the carman basement, and no public basement in JJ worth speaking of. Furnald I’m not actually sure, there might be room there.</p>

<p>And if you’re going to leave it somewhere temporarily and you don’t have something firm to chain it to, remember the old trick of chaining the wheel to the frame. That way, nobody can just hop on it and bike off - they’d have to heft the thing and carry it wherever. Prevents theft of a more casual sort.</p>

<p>edit: Actually, let me reverse myself - if you properly arrange your carman double, and don’t bring any additional furniture into the room, there is probably space for a bike on your half of the room. that’s one bike - the other, you should leave with your parents or, at worst, nail up on the wall.</p>
