    This is why it’s so important to have bike lockers downtown. It saves bikes, people don’t have to buy multiple expensive locks to keep their bikes safe, and it staves off crime.

    Most of the bike lockers here cost a nickel per hour. Fully enclosed, all metal, out of sight and out of mind, even if your city has addicts that steal anything not welded to the ground.

      bike lockers

      I wish! It’s a BATTLE to even get shitty wheelbender racks installed at multi-business plazas!

      I’m fine with having basic racks, but anything is better than nothing. And bike lockers would be incredible.

        All of the above is good! We have lots of racks, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have an extra long chain because there’s sometimes no racks nearby, and you have to improvise with a streetlamp or something similar.
