2nd day at the new job, 1st day commuting! - Bike Storage 101

As cliche as it is, my commute this morning was a dream come true!  No seriously though, it really was!  After hearing about my company's corporate office moving to Broomfield and then seeing the campus first hand last summer (after buying a house nearby), all I could think of was "man....I've gotta find a way to get a job there and bike to work. I just HAVE to!"  Apparently, good things come to those who work their tails off, refuse to take "no" for an answer and keep their goals in sight.  Finally, after a lot of work and some intergalactic alignment, everything fell into place to make this morning possible.  As awesome as it would have been to commute on day #1, that simply wasn't feasible (darn those boxes of files and pictures and random "office things" anyhow!), but I knew day #2 was meant to be!

Before moving to the my new "home", I did some recon about bike storage because my biggest concern about commuting to work was, "where am I going to store my bike?!?" A few phone calls and several emails later, I learned that my company has 6 bike lockers outside the main entrance.  I walked right by them the first time, thinking it was an electrical box or something bc you'd never imagine it was meant to hold bikes!  So on day 1, I sniffed out the bike lockers, discovered that my lock would fit perfect (always a good thing to test out before making that first trip!), and also accustomed myself with the on-site gym (I'm one of those lucky ones who can rent a locker to stash all of my personal/shower items so I don't have to transport them back and forth!).

I'm quite thankful to work for a company that values its active employees and has provided these awesome storage units.  Plus, they're pretty neat!!  The bike fits perfect inside and has a heavy duty handle which fits a MasterLock just fine!  Although I was fully prepared to stash my bike in my cube with me, I'm grateful that my ride can stay outside in a secured area.

Looking forward to many more new adventures and lessons that commuting will bring!
