Bike Parking at the QFC in Wallingford is often full in the evening. 2 thoughts:
1. We need more bike parking
2. With most businesses on arterials streets, people need bike lanes on arterials

3. If your lock is too small to lock a wheel as shown in our graphic, consider locking your wheel to a rack through your chainstay triangle. It's near impossible to remove your wheel with a lock through it
This is the Sheldon Brown Method.

1. Always lock your frame + at least 1 wheel. It's a simple way to protect more of your bike and to ensure your bike doesn't roll around on the rack (if it rolls, something could get bent/damaged).
2. Even better to use two locks to lock both wheels.

@finchfrii @MultimodalAlex A quality u-lock through the frame and around a bike rack is usually sufficient, unless you have a high end bike (or a hub drive e-bike) and then folks might come after your wheels. Longer u-locks you can sometimes lock a wheel too, like in this graphic from @BikeSecurityAdv

Hey @SeattleOPCD @SeattleSDCI & @PBOTinfo, we're now *way* behind the EU #bikeparking standards.

We have these same bad bike racks in Seattle, too, @roadcc.

@HBLRideAloha
Can we get @honolulupolice to shift gears to using @BikeIndex instead?
It's more community-empowering and has far more success at recovering stolen bikes that siloed PD registries.
