and every parking meter in biz districts should have the increased
"customer/employee parking" (no, not "bike" parking) mounts to parking meters
to augment capacity...ps..found this story pretty good....as one whose had 9
bikes stolen in my cycling career..I'm always trying to learn best strategies
and tools for safer/more secure bike parking!

Gotta disagree strongly
with the recommendation for the "City Rack" model. The
only place I could park either of my bikes on one of those would be on the
posts at the ends. Unless you have a very small frame, the top bar is just
too low to fit the bike under it, and I want to be able to lock more than
just my front wheel to a rack. The "Bike Dock" or the
multi-space variations on it (Bike Corral and Stadium) are far superior in
giving the bicyclist more flexibility in locking preference for different
types and sizes of frames. There's just no contest, it's a simple
and effective design.
[I do agree with Robbie that the
"wave" and comparable designs (pretty-looking
fence/wheelbenders) absolutely suck.]
