riding the trike

The down time spent in large institutional buildings by staff during periods when the building is not occupied. Typically experienced by university residence life staff during summer break. Refers to the scenes in the movie The Shining where Danny rides his trike through the deserted hotel.

Barry: Hey bro, what you doing now that students are gone for summer?

George: Not much man, playing Call of Duty 4, sleeping, watching Netflix... you know, just riding the trike.
