The SFBC has been working with Safeway to upgrade the bike parking at that store, the "folded wave" rack they put in after the 2007 renovation doesn't work well for many bicycle types and isn't well sited* -- those U-racks are much better and the siting is an okay compromise but I'd been worried about how folks with trailers and longtails would fit without hanging over the walkway. Your demonstration shows that it works all right if you park parallel to the building on the end racks, indeed a pair of cargo bikes fit perfectly, hot cha. I'll share these with my Safeway contact and show her how successful our collaboration has been, and how their shop-by-bike customers are spending plenty of dough there, probably more than a lot of the SUV pilots jostling for space in the parking lot!<br /><br /><br />* http://flickr.com/photos/58356088@N00/2113410207/Andy Thornleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01196629683789465221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960920879813006369.post-42863267366333561182010-01-19T19:52:43.158-08:002010-01-19T19:52:43.158-08:00Good for you!

It's great your family is going carless and even better your daughter is growing up wanting to ride her bike instead of drive a car. You might be interested in a non-profit site www.saveagallon.org. It allows you to enter alternative tranportation miles and then tells you how much gasoline you're not using and CO2 you're preventing. Good luck with the carless week.<br /><br />Phil CoxPhil Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07801062608627825691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960920879813006369.post-35844857101969952502009-07-13T03:57:21.111-07:002009-07-13T03:57:21.111-07:00Way to go, Bill!
