If the solution leads to satiation, then by all means. However, and I am probably not alone, there are some who do not want to go through the hassle of finding a lamp or similar sounding post. Parking for a short period is certainly no problem with multiple locks and some extra precautions, but what if one wants to park for say 8 hours or even more. Down-town parking can be difficult and lugging the thing into the office is not any easier. Imagine your dripping (with water) bike rolling over the spotless clean lobby and/or soiling the clean blue carpeting. Someone is not going to be happy.

I'll put it this way, wouldn't it be nice to have a Valet pick up the bike and bring it out when one is ready to leave? I guess that is a bit luxurious, but why not? Especially if the price is right.
