Hi! I'm moving to Ottawa and brining my cargo bike (Tern GSD). I'll be working in an office downtown (Bank & Gloucester) and want to use it to commute but my office doesn't have secure parking. Does anybody else do this? I need to get a few kids to school on route and I'm coming from reasonably far out so "buying a cheap bike" probably not going to work for me.

These are my ideas. I don't love any of them:

1. Park at City Hall? then I’ve still got a bit of a walk on either end….
2. Rent a bike spot at garage from someone with a condo downtown? (anyone done this?) 
3. Secure public bike parking lockers, I see a few spots that could work, but not even sure it would fit inside, also the cost isn’t great if I’m doing it daily. Has any used them?
   1. 210 Gloucester Street,
   2. 141 Clarence Street
4. Buy insurance, leave a huge chain lock downtown on a pole, take the battery out when I arrive and hope for the best? 
5. Any other options? Would love to hear what you do, especially if you roll with a cargo-bike.
