A Letter from the President ………..
Hello neighbors,
 I’m the new president ...Board of Directors. My contact data appears at 
the end of this email.
We changed the locks and code for the BIKE ROOM this week. If you do not store a bicycle in the room, there’s no need to respond to this message.
If you do store a bike in the room, I need a response from you or you won’t have access to your bike. I own 3 bikes.

I do not want my access to them restricted. Nor do I want YOUR access to YOUR bike restricted. Read on.
To receive the code to the bike room, you must “register” your bike. How do you do THAT?
 1-you email me, text me or call me at 630 677 8409 and say “I need access to the bike room and I typically store 
___ # of bikes there.
___ 2-i will give you a sticker to put ON your bike. I will deliver the sticker to you personally, along with the code. 
The sticker should be placed on the “top tube” of your bicycle, 
close to the handle bars (so far forward).
See this diagram for location of the “top tube”. It’s the horizontal red bar that runs more or less between the seat and the 
handle bars. If there is a question about where to place your sticker, I will be happy to accompany you to the bike room and assist with affixing the sticker.

At this time there is no extra charge to store your bike in the bike room. On April 1, 2022, I will be removing anything (bicycle or anything else) from the bike room that has not been registered with me.
Thank you all for helping us make  a safer and more pleasant place to live.

某公寓樓,隻有三層,每層8戶。

地下車庫有個倉庫,放公共的雜物和大家的自行車的。裏麵還有網線什麽的吧。

美國人鍛煉喜歡騎車,所以,很多人家有自行車,別墅房子沒得說,自行車都是放在自家車庫裏,很多人家都是掛在牆上的。

剛來美國的時候,我也想買個自行車的,因為在國內騎車習慣了。但一看這裏的自行車才發現,它是鍛煉用的,車座尤其不舒服。再說,發現沒有人騎車買菜什麽的。放棄了。

美國騎車人多,但沒見修車的在哪兒,都自己修嗎?不知道。反正在國內街邊上到處都是修理自行車的,非常方便。

言歸正傳。

就這沒多少戶人家的公寓,自行車的存放問題一直困擾著大家,時常物業發通知給大家關於自行車管理的規定,所以時常,就是因為沒有管理好,一直管不了。

一晃,20年過去了,20年。

終於,最近在樓裏選出了新管理員後,物業再次發信給大家,轉發了本樓管理員的告大家書。

如上。

沒點手段,不說把你自行車扔出去,不說把你東西扔出去,那個倉庫永遠都會是亂七八糟的。

人,都有一個共性,那就是依賴,能自覺地能遵守規矩的人非常少。

我一直以為這是小事兒,隻發生在我管理的階段,隻發生在過去騎自行車人多的年代,隻發生在咱們國內。看來,我錯了。

有人的地方,就有問題,也就會有相同的問題。

看到我很“二”地管理自行車掛牌問題的文後,朋友給我發了個消息,跟我說,看看美國人是怎樣管理自行存放問題的。

我是不掛牌的自行車拔氣密芯,這個老美好,直接把車搬走了。

我一看,樂了,真想跟這個樓自己的管理員說,咱們握握手吧,咱倆都想到了用這樣的方法才能管好自行車的存放問題。

所以,看似特別難管的問題,其實也還是方法問題,采用什麽樣的方法就能解決什麽樣的問題。
