BIKEPGH MESSAGE BOARD ARCHIVE

OTB needs one of these, ASAP. Or similar. It's ironic that anytime more than about a dozen cyclists go to the OTB, somebody ends up having to park a hundred yards away, at a parking meter, or on the other side of the road.

The Calf & Kid artisan cheese shop is in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle. I googled "seattle bike rack regulations," and got this:

Show me your... Bike rack.

Totally agreed about OTB. It was chilly on Friday night and it was still full. But that is a good thing that large numbers of people are on two wheels now.

It's even more annoying given the fact that they want one because it would be good for their customers. Portland can't install enough of them to keep up with demand.

They have these all over in Bremen, Germany only not as engineered. They are basically just u racks in the street where a car would normally park.

This is not the thread I hoping for.

Why can't people lock their bikes to other people's bikes? Are there really 12 strangers at OTB at once?

Every time I am in a group and people lock their bikes to someone else's, there is always someone that says ,"oh man, so and so locked his/her bike to mine. Gotta get him/her to unlock it before i leave!" Slight inconvenience, but I guess that more and more people will have to lock to each other.

I'm no "social butterfly" but this would almost seem like an opportunity for an event. Lock your bike to a strangers bike. Any number of ways to take it from there. Picture of bike and owner left on a bulletin board or table. Or try and match bike to owner. oPTION #3, Bike and owner have matching number. Onus is on the person who locks to strangers bike to introduce themself.

Locking to other people's bikes is bad form. Different if you arrived there with them or are best friends.

No one is advocating double parking friend's cars into parking lots, even if we could fit a lot more of them in without aisles.
