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!

Isn’t that backwards?
Also even if it wasn’t, that’s a public footpath? That would be completely blocked by a bike going across it?
Either this is layers of stupid, or the original OP came on the Internet to tell lies.
The path ends right there. You cannot go around the corner. There is nothing, that is blocked.
Probably not bolted down and installed properly either. Which part of the US is this?
You are correct.
No, you stick your wheel between the parallel bars and you can lock the wheel and frame to the rack with a u-lock or chain.
I thought the wheel was supposed to sit between the two bars on the ground
That’s just the shadow of the vertical bars
No, I mean the big bars. Like this
If it was turned the other way, it’d be flush against the wall and you wouldn’t be able to fit your tire into the space to lock it up.
No it wouldn’t, the bottom bars stick out beyond the vertical bars and would give them clearance from the wall. It’s backwards.
No, it’s the right way around. The designers just did a bad job.
(Note: @Showroom7561@lemmy.ca is OP; I just cross-posted.)
it’s always good to have bike racks, but installed like this would completely block the sidewalk when a bike is parked 😕
Edit: unless this is just a useless corner that just leads to the back of the store.
Remember to ask for an upside-down U rack.

Actually, that’s a great idea. I was gonna ride my bike to grocery store, but lack of bike rack annoys me, so I was going to take my car. I’ve never had a bike stolen before, but I just got this new e-bike, so I’m kinda extra cautious.
But I am definitely going to write to their headquarters this morning and suggest a bike rack! Thank you, friend! :)
5 downvotes in 38 minutes, on an innocuous comment in a 9-day-old thread. 🤔
LOL, what did you do to piss off some chud so badly that he’s mass-downvoting you with no less than five sockpuppets?
Right? And it’ll probably keep going down! I have a small fun downvote brigade that follows me around! lmao
So the people in c/politics think I’m the #1 troll on all of Lemmy (I voted for socialist candidate in this year’s US election instead of Harris). A few of them sent me DM’s saying they’ll follow me around just to “keep an eye” on me.
They like to post stats of how many downvotes I get (which I just used and put in my profile anyway.)
If you’re really bored and want to see some of the comments about how much I suck and should be banned, you can start here: https://lemmy.world/comment/12929978
But seriously, it’s boring and basically it’s people thinking Lemmy should be one big echo chamber. I get called to be banned daily. Meh, I’m still here. :)
I interacted with you recently and you were nothing but a troll. After upsetting people you now seem surprised people lash back lol.
It’s not them being in an echo chamber, it’s retaliation for the way you treat people. Actions have consequences, please don’t act like you’re some innocent victim. Everyone can see your post history.
Yep, my post history is public: https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts
And what makes you think I was “surprised” at any backlash?! Friend, I’ve been getting backlash since my first day here. There is no “surprise” on my end.
And how was I troll to you? How am I treating people?
You seem confused at least by why people are doing this. But anyone rational person would see how you behave and understand. You just lack self awareness. It’s not them wanting an echo chamber, it’s you being the annoying kid in school that won’t take a hint.
I’ll link you same one I linked before, my one and only interaction with you that was cringe af.
Let’s be clear—our very first interaction started with you insulting me by calling me an “edgelord,” which is a blatant provocation. As seen in your link: https://lemmy.world/comment/12909326
You initiated the conversation by insulting me, and now you’re falsely accusing me of trolling when I was simply responding to your attack.
If anything, you set the tone for that exchange, and yet you’re acting as if I’m the one in the wrong. It’s weird for you to insult someone and then play the victim when they respond.
Do you think it’s acceptable to personally attack someone in your very first interaction with them, even tho they haven’t attacked you?!
That’s your argument for calling me a troll? You’re saying I’m a troll because I responded to your unprovoked insult to me?! And I still didn’t personally attack you after that. lol
Lol if you want to copy/paste responses we can do that:
Yeah, because you said something cringe. You then tried to have a convo and as soon as I did back you just trolled.
You set the tone with your horrible comment. If someone says something horrible you can’t expect hugs and kisses buddy. You really can’t help but play the victim can you?
