This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Usually that means the venue hasn't provided bike racks when they really need to. There's a convenience store near me which has no bike rack so I end up locking my bike to the firewood rack as the only reasonably secure spot to lock it

There is no space for a bike rack. The pedestrian path is on average about as wide as a wheelchair to start with. Where would you put a bike rack then?

Well that sounds like a right pickle. Generally whatever entity is in charge of providing parking would be the one to bother to find a solution. If that's the business, reach out to a manager or other decision maker, if that's the municipality they of course can be reached and usually love a low cost high impact change they can make at the request of a citizen. If that's a shopping center thats probably still a manageable process to notify them of the demand. All of the above are financially incentivized to provide adequate customer parking, and customers leaving bikes in the walkway would indicate a strong customer demand for more bike parking
