My primary use for my bike is commuting. I park my bike in a garage at the basement of my office building. In order to get in and out, I need to use a HID card. It basically only works when card is swiped very close to the reader. I generally carry my garage card in my glasses' case which is on my handle bar and have to pull it out of there when I arrive at the gate and put it back in before I can move again.
So what is the problem?
I come in and go basically when everybody else arrives and leaves so I end up holding up the line majority of the time while I am getting the card and putting it away, and when I am using my winter gloves, this whole procedure becomes even more challenging. So, I am looking for a solution where I can speed up this entry/exit procedure. Way back when , during the stone ages, I had a riding jacket that had a zippered pocket on its front part of the arm where you could put small items like your license, money, etc. But, I cannot seem to find such jacket anymore. Something like that would have worked great because that would allow me to put the card in this pocket and basically wave my arm over the reader and off I would be able to go without having to pull it out.
I was thinking about getting one of those ski-pass things that you can attach to your arm, but I think that would look somewhat strange, so I am looking for suggestions from anybody out there that may have this problem and come up with some creative idea.
Attaching the card to the bike is not really an option because I cannot get any part of the bike close enough to the reader.
Any ideas???
