I won’t. Where I went to Uni the outdoor bicycle parking was placed right next to the sprinklers, and it would water the bicycles 🤦 That’s not acceptable. We need to treat these machines with the respect they deserve.
That’s just the university buildings and grounds dept not adjusting the sprinklers properly/using poor sprinkler design. Bikes should ideally go inside, but they’re beautifully simple to maintain machines and can tolerate the outdoors if maintained.

I saw same grounds department driving a golf cart intentionally smash into a bicycle that was parked in same bicycle parking rack as they passed it.

It takes serious investment and education campaigns to fix cultural bigotry.
Definitely a buildings and grounds dept issue then and these things will only be resolved if complaints are lodged with the university.
