Rode up to campus today to hit up the gym and get some studying done, and after that I headed over to the Fortinos at 27 & Rexdale to get a bite, so I needed to lock up somewhere. The bike racks outside either of the two entrances weren't even bolted to the ground. I ended up locking a $2k road bike to their patio fence - which was set into the concrete sidewalk. Gotta love those suburban planners.
I wish more developers would just ask the City of Toronto to install their bike rings instead of just buying the cheapest junk possible. The city ones are pretty well thought out and, most importantly, embedded in cement. I should mention this to my school admin office, should they even care, because the racks they installed could be broken through with a decent hacksaw.
