In Closing
You’re seeing more and more bicycle parking areas like this lately. By switching to rack-style parking, it seems they can avoid handlebars from neighboring bikes getting in the way, allowing more bikes to be parked. Those racks grip the wheel pretty firmly, so it almost feels like you don’t even need to use the kickstand.
