Upon further thought, this might fall under the hostile workplace regulations. Do some research to have your ducks in a row, then bring it up to your boss. The sooner, the better.

Also you could buy one of those bike lockers like the Bike Pod:

Also, I don't know what kind of building you have but I worked at a small building like that and made friends with Janitor and he let me keep my bike in his cleaning closet. So just be on the lookout for nooks and crannies like that. Good Luck.

No change as of yet, but we were closed over the weekend. Thanks for all the suggestions and support. I will try to come up with a game plan over the next few days and present it to everyone here.

You S-I-L's behavior is ridiculous. Walls getting dirty is a lame excuse (and easily avoided in practice). People "tripping" is also beyond idiotic (ever heard of chairs? dangerous little buggers should be banned from offices!). Good luck!

there are a number of things you could do to continue keeping your bike inside, but at this point it probably wouldn't hurt to tidy up your resume, just in case. what i've used successfully in the workplace are:
1. you could just ignore her or put her off when the topic arises.
2. you could appease her bogus concerns.
both of these work well with people who avoid confrontation or have hidden agendas.
