This store just opened up a few months back, and they had zero bike parking.
I emailed their head office, saying that I was planning to shop there, but not until they added a bike rack.
Went to check last night, and boom! Bike rack!

I like the effort but man that looks to close to the wall. I like doing what I have heard as chicago style which sounds a bit wierd when you are in chicago but it involves putting the front tire over so its on the rear of the rack mostly but using the slat for a bit to be in the fron and then putting a ulock such that it is around the frame near the fork plus the front tire and the rack. Its a great quick lock if your not gone long since the rear wheel is not secure, but its real fast to do. Did a quick google search but can't find a good picture of someone doing it but it only makes sense on certain type of bike racks like the old kind like this.
These racks are called "wheelbenders" for a reason, and I don't particularly like them. I much prefer to have access to lock my bike, so the anchor point is in the middle of my bike, rather than only on one wheel.
Since I do use two locks, as long as I can get my frame and one wheel locked, then my U-lock can secure the other wheel to the frame.
