Not here. Difficult to put a bike rack outside the third floor, y'see.

Actually, putting the bike rack there would be easy. Riding up to it
would be another story. ;)

Just take it up the elevator and into the office. Lean it against your desk.
Install a dumb-waiter for bikes.

Better: Put the bike rack in the vehicle garage where the same
security cams that watch the SUVs rusting can do something useful for
a change.

No way - did that, gave up almost immediately.
Do you have any idea of the slope and the coeffient of friction on your
typical office parking garage ramp? It's about 25%, grooved, and
concrete. Plus they tend to be sooty and rubbery from cars being
flogged up them, and sometimes have a sharp hook to the right,
effectively increasing the slope.
Of course, I'm talking about parking in the sub-basement, which is
typical here in Toronto. An above ground parking garage might be
different. The old Eatons Centre one had a nice CCW spiral going up,
but they didn't allow bikes no way no how. Didn't much care for
skateboarders coming down, either.
