Chances are, someone thought that they were parking “out of the way” . . . but, of what?
Most people would recognize double parking as inconsiderate, yet think nothing of it when it comes to obstructing bicycle parking. And you just know that if someone scratched a car with their bicycle maneuvering in/out of the one space designated for bikes, the driver would positively freak out.
