		The absolute best are the locking boxes that Caltrans
    and Hewlett-Packard have around here.   I'll see if they have a
    brand name on them.

Do try to get them to get a box of some sort (haven't seen the ones 
mentioned above, but sound nice...) rather than a rack. Try to get them 
to understand that bikes are fragile enough (and easy enough to 
dissamble) that they can quickly be reduced to paperweights by a random 
kick or idle passers-by with a wrench.....

	If you saw the boxes, you would like them!  They are the standard of 
excellence....completely enclosed, lockable, and large enough.  Really nice!
