That would work ...
...unless he lives in the 12th floor ...
...or has a wife like mine that would kick both me and the bike out on the street corner for even thinking about it.

Well, I live on the 2nd floor with no elevator. Would it be possible to lug a bike up the stairs everynight? If you think so I'd be willing to do it, but I see it being very diffiult to pull something 300 pounds up the stairs every night.

pulling it up the stairs may not work, but depending on the bike, your skill and how much you value your apartment you could ride it up the stairs

Tomorrow I'm going to talk to my apartment management about chaining it to the stairway down below. Keep your fingers crossed about that one.

Hi all
I just very recently got an 05 Ninja 250 and have been lurking around on the forums here for a while. I live in Philly and currently keep it outside by some bike racks with a cover on it (so people don't play with it, sit on it, knock it over...which has already happened once when I left it out without the cover on).
Anyway I am moving to New York soon and I was wondering where people kept their bikes in the city. Do the cops care if you leave them outside on the sidewalk? Are most people respectful of the bikes or do they mess with it? I most likely won't ride it in the city for transportation (dangerous!!), just for fun on the weekends, but that means it will be sitting outside on the sidewalk for days at a time...so it'd be great to get any information from NY observers! Thanks!

Have you ever seen the movie "Animal House"? Specifically, the scene where D-day rides his bike up the stairs?

id like to think 99% of people that walk near your bike would leave it alone completely. however, whenever you have several thousand dollars invested in something that sits in plain view of the general public every night while you sleep, youd probably be better off assuming the worst of people.
