Bike Racks at Grocery Store !!!!

A huge improvement to the cooksville community came with the addition of bike racks at the local grocery store. It was about time one of the big chains decided to make their store cycle friendly. The racks are clean, strong and well placed. In the photo below you will see my bike sitting on the rack.

The competitors store across the street however has not been as proactive. They still do not have any racks installed although there is plenty of space to do so. You can see from the photo what a fellow cyclist had to do to lock up his bike. If only he knew that across the street there was a rack installed, maybe it would have changed his place of shopping.

The Competition...no bike rack in sight



A biker who shopped at the competition...this is what he had to do. I have no idea how he secured the bike. What will it take for businesses to get on board and start making their facilities more bike friendly
