If we had racks like those in the Mission, I’d dust off my bike, lock it up, photograph it, and then toss that shit back in the basement.

They’ve already put grates around the trees with similar designs, so hopefully these will be on there way soon.

Also, that thinner metal is breakable than the think tubing of SF’s racks.

When it comes to bike parking, I’ll take Function over Fashion any time.
