Where to lock your bike
I just popped in to my local Sainsburys on my way home from work and discovered that they have removed all the bike racks.
I thought things were getting better but instead of taking away a couple of car places they removed all the cyclling ones. Just typical I've decided next time I'll take my bike in to the shop with me and see what happens.

Re: Where to lock your bike
Good for you!
The last time I tried to chain up my bike to a railing outside my local Safeway, I was told I couldn't do so by the trolley man. Surely the supermarkets know they're shooting themselves in the foot doing this? I'll follow your example next time this happens to me. Let me know what happens when you try it. Chris |

I usually do that, and only once I've been told I couldn't bring my bike inside. My reply to that was 'No problem, I'll just take my money to the store up the road'. One suggestion, if you do take your bike inside try going to the store when it's not so busy, you don't want complaints from other customers about chain ring marks on their legs.  |

I find a lot of supermarkets and other big stores, especially the big out-of-town ones, are very bad at catering for cyclists. My interpretation is that they're not interested in catering for someone who's going to buy a small-ish pannier full of groceries when they can cater for someone who's going to buy a whole car boot full. You could always try actually riding your bike around the store - I'd love to see that! |

Re: Where to lock your bike
you should jus chain your bike to the trolleys or something so they have to pay there would be lots of room for you to shop if there were no trolleys in the shop!
