Maybe cyclists are trying to "reserve" a bike parking space with their lock. Or maybe they just don't want to carry a heavy lock back and forth every day when they always park in the same place. If block 89 provided a place to leave U locks (that doesn't take up a bike parking space), that might alleviate the latter, if not the former. Like this: https://www.dero.com/product/lock-dock/

(As for the mention of locks without bikes, there might be a special place in Hell reserved for the self-entitled morons who presume to "reserve" a prime spot by placing a lock on it.): - - - - - Hello Block 89 Tenants – Many folks enjoy biking to work! ULI is pleased to provided bike racks and a maintenance station on level P1 of the parking ramp. Several bike commuters have provided feedback to our office about the presence of several abandoned bicycles and locks on the racks. We will be tagging these bicycles and locks tonight asking for them to be removed. If we do not hear from the owners of the abandoned items we will remove them to make more room for our active bikers. - - - - - _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
