not sure if that's to prevent angry shoppers ramming the storefront, or protect
the signs from bad drivers. bike racks get in the way of loaded shopping carts,
and perhaps attract bike tourists (like yours truly) who picanik on the sidewalk.

actually overpaid for their skills. otherwise they'd work elsewhere. i kinda like to see
the employees on bikes. let's me know the store is keeping prices low.
