don't worry, my team mates always remind me, but fwiw, it is my older race bike, and i have had it for about 13 years now. it is a great rain bike, won't rust, no paint to chip, it has been through several chains and cassettes and chainrings, infinitely many brake pads, and probably not enough new cables!

I worked at OMSI for about a year and not once was a bike reported stolen.
Park near the front entrance. I don't know why people say things like
this, there was also on opening night for this movie 2-3 months ago and
there was like 200 sweet bikes when the bike gallery opened the event and
nothing happened.

Since some of us turn green watching IMAX movies perhaps a few of us queasy
types could of stand guard outside
and watch the bikes of our fellow racers. Even better we could set up a
'decoy' bike and hide then pounce on the scum
bag as he/she tries to have off with it!

It's not a good idea. There are too many people passing through and too
many escape routes. Remember that your "beater" could be someone else's
upgrade.

Can anyone tell me, is it safe to park a bike outside OMSI? Being from
outta town, I wondered. Is it better to ride your beater and not a good bike
if you are going to park there?

I park my beater Ti rain bike and burley trailer there most weekends, and use a good lock.

my son goes and plays and 2-3 hours later, we unlock them both and bike home.

I see lots of "average" hybrid type bikes, with various trailers locked up there on Saturdays.
