I would walk the bike into the building with an air of knowing exactly what I am doing and having every right to do it. It sometimes works -- stores, generally yes; impromptu homeowners' associations in borrowed premises; work., Libraries, I get told off (hell, you can't even park a bike in the foyer between the 2 sets of glass entry doors). When that happens, I pout.
I have to admit age and a certain *je ne sais quoi* of bearing helps. I can get away easily now with things that even 20 years ago (as a callow early-40-something) would have gotten me a swift kick out the door.
