Riding Bikes in the Hallway? Forbidden

On Monday and Tuesday a Computing Sciences employee was walking to a fourth-floor exit of Building 50 when he saw a fellow employee ahead of him riding his bike, sidesaddle, down the hallway. On Wednesday, he heard the sound of a bicycle behind him and turned around to see it was the same person. This time, the employee pointed out to the rider how unsafe the activity  was, but the rider only smiled wryly and continued coasting down the hallway. The lesson? Use common sense: bicycles can cause serious accidents—they should not be ridden indoors; doing so creates enormous safety hazards for both the rider and pedestrians. If you witness unsafe behavior at the Lab, let the person know. You can also report unsafe conditions to safetyconcerns@lbl.gov.
