I stick my gloves in my helmet, and my helmet on the end of my handlebar. I run a chain lock through the helmet so it can't be taken off. If I'm riding to school I bring another pack to put my riding boots and riding pants in. I put my jacket with a teacher throughout the day. It takes a while but you get used to it.

I just schlep all my kit with me. My boots are comfy enough to wear all day; wear or carry the jacket around and do the same with the bucket. S

Sure, it's kind of a pain, but then I remember WHY I'm hauling my gear with me and start looking forward to the ride home. :)

I got one of these, may help with carrying your helmet and gloves and mybe sling you jacket between the handles. It compresses down pretty well, so it fits underneath by back seat while I am riding. Relatively cheap too.

Hope that helps.

If you have an automotives field at your college or any kind of garage, I'd ask them if they have any room for you to leave your bike and gear in there, especially if you have the highest bike theft rate.
I'd bring a cover for the bike though as it might get pretty dusty and grimy in there.

Once my bike gets fixed and I start riding it to school, I'm going to ask my last period teacher if I can leave my helmet in the corner of her room. All my other stuff should fit in my locker.

Let's see, did high school and currently doing college.

Bike has a helmet lock. Anchor helmet to bike and put gloves in helmet.
Wear jacket around campus. Nothing wrong with a spiffy leather jacket (or now I have my joe rocket jackets :P) Aw Jeah!

High school was same thing.

Helmet lock fell off a few months back and I got it replaced but during that time, I just carried it with me. Bookbag + books inside bookbag, helmet w/ gloves inside the helmet, and that was that. During classes at the local uni, I'd put the helmet under my desk or by my feet, hang the jacket on the back of the desk. In classes where we have the stadium seating/many seats for lecture halls or what-have-you, I put them at my feet again, and usually toss a jacket in the seat next to me.

nah no lockers..... and I try to leave as little on the bike as possible, lots of vandalism problems here as well as theft -.-. I just carry the helmet with the gloves inside, but my jacket wont fit much of anywhere, and its kind of hard to wear my backpack outside of the big padded jacket too......

You can probably find other brands but his backpack works well to carry your helmet. A little bulky but it works.
