Yes, turn my head 20 degrees to the left and I can see the front wheel and forks from here - but I'm at home. When it's lit here in the study/box room and dark in the living room along the corridor, the spoke reflectors shine back at me.

When I lived and worked in Walthamstow I used to lock my bike to the railings in the executive entrance at the back of the offices. There was a huge vacant "landing" at the foot of the stairs so it wasn't in anybody's way. Didn't stop Personnel sticking a note on the saddle asking me to remove it though - which I didn't; I reckoned it did the bosses good to see my bike every day in their private stairway. They were a useless bunch of prats; the company went bust soon after I left.

I can just see the RH brake lever from where I'm sat at home. Bike's at the back of the house waiting for a quick tweak and a mickle before it goes back in the shed.

If I was working and had ridden in, the bike sits in my office with me! :wub:

Well I ticked the move my eyes option because it often is as the computer at home is beside a window against which I often prop it up - though to be honest it is in the shed currently.

I'm surprised how many of you have your bike in the 'office'..i've got visions of bikes being pushed through office blocks, in lifts, pushed up corridors....:wacko:

My previous bike (the one the GT replaced) was assembled in my workplace (a callcenter), just behind my desk while others worked. After all, I was the supervisor and had finished for the day :smile:

I did get moaned at a little by management the next day (or maybe that was when I brought a wheel up to repair a p**cture). My excuse was that some people in the top floor brought their bikes up in the lift every day.

More recently, I was fixing some IT issues for a Building Management company in London. The Manager was really busy arguing with tennants about bikes being brought in. The reasoning against it was that "if there was a fire, would you leave your two grand bike upstairs, or would you bring it with you". I barely resisted not getting involved :smile:

I moved two from daughter's bedroom to mine the other day (she came back from uni). The others are in the garage.

I can see two of mine from here ('here' being sitting in bed). The other is downstairs in the lobby.

At Velo Vision, my commute bike sits in the office. At St Nicks, it's in the bike shed, and anyway, I'm usually on the other side of town anyway.

Main bike is in it's usual place in the kitchen, bike 2 is upstairs in the spare bedroom, well it was last time I checked, not been on it for ages.
At work it's in the bike racks inside the factory, can see it when I go for a wander, though the racks were getting crowded today, with a glimpse of the sun the fair weather boys came out to play :biggrin:

All our bikes are in the garage which is a block of garages a little way from the house.
Only bike in the house is the grand daughter's balance bike, waiting till she is tall enough.
