My barber is on a strip mall which has no bike racks so I usually walk. The only places to lock would be those gas lines on the gas meter. Originally, I thought no way would I lock my bike there but your post is making me think it's not a bad idea.
But then again, if there were to be an explosion, wouldn't I be partially liable for damages?
