Meanwhile, over at Johnny’s Coffee, still no bike racks. Cyclists lock to fences or the bus stop signpost, which forces cyclists needs into conflict with transit users or pedestrians (though I’ll just say here that I’m not sure that bus stop gets a lot of use here on Locke).

Around the same time Collective Arts requested a bike rack from the city, Johnny’s was asking as well. CA got a rack – installed so as to be practically useless – and Johnny’s is still waiting.

Yes, this is the summer of the bike rack for me, I’ll be looking for ways to improve things through Transportation for Liveable Communities (TLC) Hamilton, and will keep you posted on that journey.

In case you have a business that is currently without bike parking, you can request a free rack from the City of Hamilton.
