I didn't realize my town was bike unfriendly until I talked with one of our local bike shop owners recently. I asked if I could put my bike on their rack for trips to the supermarket since there is no where to lock up the bike at the supermarket. He said sure but the town makes him drag it inside when they close. He said the town council is super strict about public bike racks because they don't want to encourage bike riding in the town. I need to get to a town meeting one of these days to see who in the heck these people are.
