An update to my post about the lack of a bike rack at a local store... (And my new strategy!)

@rasterweb You just made me realize that it'd be awesome if all the bublr stations had places for people to secure their non-bublr bikes.

Those stations are commonly in high commerce areas and if they had spots to secure personal bikes everyone would win and they'd be helping to promote cycling overall.

@grimmy Would Bublr win?

[grimmy@mastodon.social]

@rasterweb They could... More people could take bikes rather than cars if the people who already have bikes had a safe place to lock them up next to the bublr bike that their friend rented..

@rasterweb I’d be very curious if that were true. Cities do assessments all the time but him having such a specific number and exactly for bike lanes sounds like some detail was elided. Was there a massive repaving and sewer fixing situation that included adding bike lanes?

@glennf I definitely question the number... I sort of wish I had got an email or letter because I didn't record the phone call and it was last summer, so I on;y vaguely remember that number. I didn't get any more details...
