My wife works at the hospital and found a bike parking spot inside one of the garage parking lots. I think she pays $25/year for it. I can find out more details if you'd like

Thanks Jordan! Would love to hear more about where your wife parks her bike....I just started a new job with NW (in an outpatient clinic near the hospital) this week. Took the el today since I wasn't sure about bike parking, but it was sooooooo irksome to not be riding my bike on such a beautiful day.....so I'm realizing I need to figure out the bike parking situation asap or I may go crazy not riding! :o)

This is probably a dumb question, but is NW Hospital part of the University?  I ask b/c I work at Northwestern Law School (375 East Chicago) and when I signed up for my Univ. ID, etc., I paid an annual fee (I think it was $20 or $25, so it may be the same thing Jordan's talking about) to park my bike in a locked "Bike Room" in the "Self Park" parking garage on the block between E. Erie and E. Ontario streets (about 2-3 blocks from here, and closer to most of the hospital complex).  They coded the magnetic stripe on my Univ. ID,  and that's how I access the bike room (it has a card-reader-operated lock on the door).  It's a very good deal - the bike room has racks that accommodate probably 40 or 50 bikes, and it's reasonably warm in winter.   I've been very satisfied.
