If the city was smart, they would leave the meters intact and operable so that 
civic-minded bicyclists would pay a token amount to park there just to 
demonstrate to the miffed automobilists that cycists are putting in a (cough) 
their fair share. I suppose you're going to ask me what I think a "fair share" 
is and whether there is a significant portion of bicyclists who consider 
themselves as "civic-minded." My excuse is that it's too bloody early in the 
morning to figure the details but it sounded good at the time.

When Seattle switched from parking meters to a printed-ticket system, cyclists 
lost the majority of ad-hoc opportunities to secure their rides. Chicago hasn't 
made that mistake.
