Excellent ideas, All! I implemented exactly none of them, as I couldn’t read this until I was done volunteering, but luck was on my side! There sat my bike, just as I’d left her. Oh, the sweet sight of sunlight enhancing that creamy blue frame.
Today would have been the world’s worst day to bring TBBITW inside. There was a “wax museum” in the gym/multi-purpose room, and the entire office and all the way down the hall was full of visiting parents, who were there to see their kids’ displays. I really was relegated to the bike rack out front. As someone else said, the bike culture is neglected here, and mostly no one cares about my bike, I think. I live in one of the most car-centric and remote parts of Vegas. Thanks for the advice and well-wishes!
