SUCCESS! BMW Building, 555 W57th @ 11 Ave, NY
Date of trial: Wed Dec 5, 2007, 5pm
Insider: DH, Bike Friday Club of NY member, owns 2 folding bikes and a recumbent
Type of building: Secure office building
Known policy/insider statement: "The official policy is that folding bikes are allowed.They let me take my Brompton in folded unbagged, but I take the freight elevator. There are secure bike lockers at the entrance." My approach: Remove helmet, balaclava, fold and cover bike, carry it in, suspend my opinion about BMW drivers being the most intolerant of all drivers when it comes to cyclists.
Result: Success. Showed ID to security desk, staffed by black male and female guards, who were cheerful and didn't bat an eyelid.

  • Now that is a beautiful thing. Not very often you see that kind of consideration. I guess I'm jaded to the point where any consideration at all is a complete surprise. i can honestly say that the fact its BMW is not that much of a suprise when you think of it . Forward thinking motor bike designs lead to a little more then averag respect for cyclists. Good for you BMW.

  • Lol I live across the street from the BMW building.
