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!
No, you stick your wheel between the parallel bars and you can lock the wheel and frame to the rack with a u-lock or chain.
I thought the wheel was supposed to sit between the two bars on the ground
That’s just the shadow of the vertical bars
No, I mean the big bars. Like this
Oh, got it. Yes, that’s how it’s supposed to go. The lower bar does help keep the bikes steady, but at least you can still lock your bike up even if it’s backwards.
If it was turned the other way, it’d be flush against the wall and you wouldn’t be able to fit your tire into the space to lock it up.
No it wouldn’t, the bottom bars stick out beyond the vertical bars and would give them clearance from the wall. It’s backwards.
