I rode straight into work one time, pulled up in the middle of the shop.
Manager just looked at me and laughed
I once had to go up to the other camping shop thats linked to ours in Victoria Centre(shopping mall thing for anyone who doesnt know)
I was tempted to get on and ride straight to it(lovely flat, smooth floors), but walked my bike through instead. The security men dont look like they take much shoot!
New idea, shop sprint

Dunno if it is 20m !
I guessed maybe 15 !!
From the copier to the end there are 8 desks !
Oh and the carpet is minging - 3 floods in 10 years and it's probably been there for 20 years in total.
Only gets hoovered every other week never cleaned in 10 years !
Our office is great - I have a cupboard under the stairs where i keep my bike and kit. Someone came round and said Fire regs means it needs a lock on it so not only is it big enough to store it's now secure !

I like your style on this and it reminds me of happy days at work.......
When they were closing my office down in Brum and I was one of the last to work there before I started home-working, I rode in a circular route with all the interconnecting doors open, across the glass bridges and through reception as if in a carpeted velodrome it was fantastic.
Now I did this because the facilities chick didn't care, HR who were also there didn't give a toss and because we had no on-site security at the time.
We also played office chair olympics, rounders, football and british-bulldogs.
What wasn't so fantastic was the fact that no one had told us that the CCTV was remotely watched by security at head office in Swindon and I got a right rollicking
I am however proud of my antics 
especially as my rollocking came all the way from the US head office.
