I'm getting finicky about bicycle parking. We've got a new style bike
rack appearing around town. They're a take-off on the standard
"coat-hanger" type with a higher horizontal bar and a larger, deeper,
squared-off, "coat hanger". They work quite well but have a placard
mount for advertising.
My gripe with racks is that they're seldom covered which is stupid in
this climate. Worse though is that there's rarely, if ever, a place
for setting your packages while loading panniers and unlocking your
bike. You end up putting your purchases on the ground which is wet.
And on top of it all, I'd like to see something more aesthetically
considerate than what's presently offered in even the best situations.
