What's the deal with bike shops that don't have bike parking? (lemmy.ca)

I've been to a few bike shops that don't have any bike racks outside. It's bizarre. Like, you have to bring your bike in the shop just to pick something up or to have a look around.

I'm not even talking about one place that does this, I have at least three in the area where there are no bike racks at all.

Is this normal? Why???

If your city has mandatory parking minimums you could also try to convince the council to include mandatory minimum bike parking.

Please no. Just repeal parking minimums. We don't need more arcane laws to comply with, even if I do like having bike parking

I'm super lucky that the cities around me are removing minimum parking laws! Most political drama is around parking meters because, gasp, how dare we charge reasonable fees to keep our limited street parking churning and available!
