Even if a bike rack was provided it would never be good enough for some cyclists to trust with their precious bicycle. Read the posts from all the BFers who insist on bringing their bike into every establishment they visit.

a salesman at the other store got PISSED at me when I locked my bike up to their display rack! *laughs his ass off* That was the store that ignored me while I was there (didn't say a word to me till I was unlocking my bike).... I just shrugged at him and left.
Yeah, the Walmart here has a bike rack. Considering that they have several thousand shopping carts and never collect them till the storage areas by the doors are very nearly empty, it's a LOT safer to go through the parking lot by bike than it is by car!!!
I take my bike with me into the bank, ACE cash express while I pay my cell phone bill, and into Lowes when I go to pick stuff up there. I've gotten funny looks wheeling my bike across the bank lobby (from customers), but my boss is a major customer there, and I've been going in there for two years... they all know me and nobody has ever said anything about the bike.

Confused LBS? Isn't that redundant?
I'm fortunate to have one commuter-oriented shop and one shop with several commuter employees. I know the people to talk to and avoid the rest.

I have my stem all the way to the top. So if I put a MTB stem on my bike then I can have the bars up where I like them with out over extending the stem. Nice looking bike.

She looks great - you had me expecting something bizzare!
I left my bike over lunch at the LBS and when I came back they were pointing it out. I have 2 Optronics light housings, a bell, a helmet cam mount, front blinky, cyclometer, and airzounds air horn haning off the aerobars.

I'll keep adding stuff to it as I have the money... I'm on a pretty tight budget.

I always bring my bike inside the shop. Why would that be a problem?
