He threads it through the rack, and through both wheels. He could do the same if he parked perpendicular. He's just not considering that other people might want to use the rack. This supermarket has no parking meters or cart corrals, unfortunately. The rack could be better, especially if it was a wave type, but any rack is better than no rack. |

| Re: How to deal with a rack hog? After the manager promised to take care of the problem, and the problem persists, I would definitely talk to him again. May be that he forgot, or the bike owner is ignoring him. In either case, he needs to be told. And this time, I would let a little annoyance creep into my voice. I've got an idea! How about cabling the bike in properly, as you suggested, and giving the key to the manager? |
