This store just opened up a few months back, and they had zero bike parking.

I emailed their head office, saying that I was planning to shop there, but not until they added a bike rack.

Went to check last night, and boom! Bike rack!

I get why bike racks are used when there are a lot of bikes, as you can pack them closer together. If at all possible I’d rather not store my nice bike in one, too easy to damage the bike. Especially the way this is placed, with bikes blocking much of the sidewalk.

Why not just park your bike along the wall?
