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!

    Just barely thin enough to get a U-lock round it

    I’ve got several styles u-locks, and some are narrower than others. The inconsistency with bike racks means I never know which one to bring… a little frustrating, but it sure beats chaining the bike up to a fence or parking sign. LOL

      I have a hiplock U-lock. Clips nicely onto a pocket, backpack, or belt. Never found a place where it wasnt wide enough and it’s super portable.

        hiplock U-lock.

        Very nice! Yeah, I’ve got a few u-locks that are narrow but long. Others that are short and stubby, but fit perfectly around the seat rube and rear wheel.

        In addition, I use a folding lock, just because it’s easier to keep mounted to this bike in a particular (where weight and storage availability isn’t a concern).

        The hiplock sounds like an awesome option for my road bike, though, where I would not want (or have room to) mount a lock to it.
