Next time you or an institution or business you are affiliated with decide to install a bike rack, call me or just about any other even occasional cyclist you happen to know. One of us will turn up with our bike and show you why you need to install it somewhere else.
@brian_gettler ha! We’re getting one at work soon, but luckily have at least three cyclists on staff to provide commentary
@brian_gettler youre very polite. i just lock my bike to whatever's least convenient for businesses that lack a usable rack.
@brian_gettler Also, the correct shape for a bike rack is an upside down U, not your organisation's logo or a capital T carrying a small handbag.
@brian_gettler my office building has a bunch of bike racks outside with a "visitor bike parking" sign and I'm not sure why they call it that and not "bike thief pickup area"
