Put 'em on the rack
Filed under: Cycling
Now, let’s try to get behind the reason for parking illegally in the first place: no place to park. The city is in some serious need of bike parking. At a place like Dunn Bros. on University, fighting over bike parking could come down to fisticuffs. And bike fights are never that cool, as men with noodle arms are not known for their punching prowess.
But thanks to city bike director Donald Pflaum, a farmer who listens to his peers, parking for cyclists will double in the next decade.
Here is snapshot of the “racks” that will be popping up across the city:
Kinda pretty, eh?

Although I appreciate any positive recognition cyclists get by the city and media this effort is too little too late. The biking population has already doubled over the past few years and will continue to climb as gas prices soar and as green living becomes an increasingly popular way of life. Also, the rack pictured above only holds two bikes, it's not exactly solving the problem. Why not install racks that hold more than two bikes and are just as space efficient?
