There's a covered (but not enclosed) bike rack to the south of the bus bays, on the east side of the tracks. I don't know how long the waiting list for the bike lockers is. @Don–A friend stayed with us for a few weeks while looking for a place to live and he cycled to the Brookland Metro regularly, locking up his bike, without incident.

I also enjoyed reading about your commute! A lot of people seem interested in multi-modal commutes these days.

As a father of two, with one young (4 yrs) child, I've got this advice--my daughter can sit sidesaddle on the tube of my Brompton, with one foot on a peddle and holding with one hand onto the seat post and the other hand onto the handlebar tube. I walk her to her daycare like that and she loves it. We dangle her lunchbag from the handlebars or put it in one of the Brompton bags I mount to the front of the bike. I've also heard of a child seat for the brompton--the Itce (sp?). I enjoyed reading about your commute!
