Nice Rack

When Blog Stamford isn’t fighting to axe cherry trees, we are fighting to make Stamford a model for bike friendly transportation. In addition to creating designated lanes around town & accommodating bikes on other forms of mass transit, another important step is creating areas in central locations where people can lock there bikes. Herbietown noticed the bike racks at the train station yesterday were jammed packed. When I rode to the mall recently I was surprised to find just a single bike rack nestled in the bushes by the dumpsters. For a supposedly pedestrian friendly plaza, you can see the worth they are putting on bike traffic.

More substantial & prominent bike racks in transportation centers, parks, & retail cores would put bike transport more top of mind and make those who do ride feel less like second class citizens.

Steps like this may even lead to the appearance of European-Style Bike MILFs…
