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!

These racks are called "wheelbenders" for a reason, and I don't particularly like them. I much prefer to have access to lock my bike, so the anchor point is in the middle of my bike, rather than only on one wheel.

Since I do use two locks, as long as I can get my frame and one wheel locked, then my U-lock can secure the other wheel to the frame.
