Good beer ✅ lots of traffic ✅ not attached to the ground ❌ not visible from patio ❌ #bikeracks #squamish #bikeyvr

Bike at entry of newer apartment building. Covered✅ near the door ✅ security camera ❌up against the wall. ❌ #bikeyvr #bikerack

I mean it’s packed, which is great, but possibly a fire hazard if bikes get knocked the wrong way? 2/5

Apparently decent bike rack placement at @homedepotofficial.bsky.social doesnt go beyond each location. Plenty of racking outside the exit, but because it’s right up against the wall, it limits who can actually lock up here safely.

H-O-L-Y S-H-I-T Just when I thought the bottom had been surveyed....

There’s a reason this account exists, it’s not just the rack, but also the location.

In the US, the vast majority of the professionals who procure bike racks (landscape architects, architects, civil engineers, facility managers, etc.) don’t commute by bike. Many don’t test racks before picking a model. This result is therefore no surprise.

This is particularly poor placement of the bike rack and trash can. This raised brick walkway is supposed to be a pedestrian access point from the street. Instead the property owner has decided create a needless conflict. #bikeyvr 1/5 stars. #bikesky

This is a great bike rack. Right beside a bikeway and the main entrance of the building, covered by a security camera and protected from the rain. 5/5 good work @vancouverconventioncentre.com

I mean I get why developers of big strip malls like this on marine way put the bike racks here, but this is fundamentally a bad location simply because it’s nowhere near entrances. If I wanted to lock up my bike and go to the staples, that becomes close to a kilometre walk. #bikeyvr #activemobility

You would think the Golden Gate National Recreation Area HQ would have better bike parking than: "lock it to the railing outside." But you would be wrong.

Not bolted down, too much greenery 0/5

It was awesome collaborating with @tomflood.bsky.social on this project. So cool to see this up!

But I’m sure the developer got credit from the city for so much bike parking! #vanpoli

Want to get your bike stolen? Don’t park it here. Alcove behind a development, no line of sight to anyone. Not covered either. 0/5

3/5 Home Depot on terminal. Covered. High traffic, near the exit. But the rack is too close to the wall in order to lock bikes up properly.

If Manning park resort can have bike racks, your office or warehouse can have one

Fantastic bike racks at the VanDusen Botanical gardens- large, visible, and right near the entrance.

Save on Foods doesn't seem to like bikes judging by how they crowd the bike rack.

This seems like a great idea for a bike rack- being inside near lockers for students. But it's awkward to get to, and it's right beside a machine shop with no visibility.

Shout out to MEC for this 5 Star bike rack set up. Lots of space, air and tools, it's covered near the entrance, and is on CCTV. This is an excellent example of what you could do with bike parking.

Only the best burnaby bike infrastructure at the pitch and putt in Central Park. Overgrown and there's too much coyote and cobra chicken risk!

Couldn't find it quickly when entering the parking lot (it was hiding behind cars!) not under cover, and not really a lot of space for more than one or two bikes without impeding the area around it. But there's lots of people traffic walking past it.

Good placement! good design, near the front door where a receptionist can see it all day. Not lit or covered though.

Covered and good design, but hidden away and not near a main entrance.

Near the front entrance, but there's no reason it couldn't be undercover or closer to the entrance. Nice meatballs though.

Plenty of space for bikes, but it's not near the main entrance to the building where there's low pedestrain traffic, and the cars on canada way aren't a threat to any wouldbe thief, and it's uncovered. At least it's lit?

Wide bays for bikes, near an entrance, not covered or well lit at night, and very low traffic nearby. Also, lots of angle grinders inside this building. Please trim that tree.

Standard bike rack design, near the front doors, accessed through parking lot, not covered or lit at night. Nice that it's in a suburban area though.

You can't see it in the photo, but you cannot access this rack without going up about 12 stairs. It's not covered, and it's in a crowded seating area so access is awkward.

It's near the entryway, standard design and it's not in the parking lot. Not undercover though or lit at night.

Love to see bike racks like this at a school- but it's nowhere near the entrance of the school or undercover or in view of teachers or admin staff at the school.

This bike rack at Costco in Burnaby (the other one) isn't too bad as it's covered, but it's not near the entrance of the store, right up against the wall and too close to shopping carts.

One bike rack in the shopping complex with two restaurants and two major retailers- far from entrances, and extremely unclear where it is, and not visible from the road.

Covered, high traffic area, wide open line of sight near doors to the business, but it's getting confused as cart storage. Honestly I expected worse from this orange big box hardware store.

What were folks in the 70s thinking?! very old design, in a wooded area and no way to actually lock up the bike.

Lots of space, standard racks but it's out of the way, zero line of sight to anyone which means a thief has lots of privacy to steal your bike.

This one at lynn Valley mall is close to the entrance, covered and has cycling infrastructure in the parking lot to get to it. But loses points because it's implied it's a good place to tie up a dog, and the parking lot is still super dangerous.

At Costco in Burnaby- despite lots of space under cover, this bike rack is about 200 metres from the entrance.

Could have been placed under cover and not in the parking lot.

At Marine Gateway- great location, lots of options to lock, well lit, with lots of folks passing by. But hot garbage for U-locks as they barely fit.

One rack for five stores at SW Marine Drive and Argyle. It exists and is bolted down, but it's not central to main doors or lit when it's dark. Near a loading dock- seems not ideal for shoppers.

Another strange placement for a bike rack on top of the old Oakridge Centre Mall. I get that people want to treat bikes like cars, but this is a little much.

At Champlain Heights Centre- these are designed to be able to put bikes in on each side, I guess folks didn't get the memo.
