All of our passes have access through the loading bay. They have a security guard there every day who just checks your number and name against a list. My first course of action is going to be trying to just be friendly with security to let me use other people's numbers on days when I know they are not using it. Its just that some of security are on power trips and arent practical about these things.
Do they issue a specific pass to give you access to the bike area? Technically our bike spots are all allocated but the same thing is happening as with your office i.e. half are empty.
However the pass for the normal entrance is the same for the rear entrance / bike area and the security guy doesn't look twice as long as the security pass works.
