Six purpose staple racks have been newly installed in front of the bike shop named Recycled Cycles in the University District neighbourhood in Seattle, WA. The rightmost rack has my road bike locked to it.

I always prefer individual racks like these over a corral. These ones are at the Akin building, Lake City, Seattle.

#cycleparkingaudit #seabikes #biketooter #mastobikes
Three bikes locked at three individual racks at the Akin building, Lake City, Seattle. Racks are shaped round and work like staple racks.

I rarely see this cycle rack, in front of Town & Country in Shoreline, WA, half full, let alone like this.

A wavey cycle rack full of parked bikes - seven in total - in front of Town & Country in Shoreline, WA.

I wish we had cycle racks like this every corner of the city...

Nine connected cycle racks that occupy an entire "parking spot" on the street on Capitol Hill, Seattle.

This is a good cycle rack, but its placement leaves a lot to be desired. Here, my friend and I had to position our bikes like this to be able to lock both on it simultaneously.

#seabikes #cycleparkingaudit #biketooter
Two bikes—one bakfits (to the left) and one cargo bike (to the right)—are locked on both ends of a staple cycle rack, positioned perpendicular to the rack since the rack is installed so close to the bush next to it, one side of it is totally useless.

Another (almost) useless cycle rack at Fishermen's Terminal in Seattle.

#biketooter #cycleparkingaudit #seabikes #mastobikes
A grey "toaster" cycle rack in the covered section of Fishermen's Terminal in Seattle. One bike is locked on the outer end of it, apparently because it's impossible to lock it any other way.

I hear Brooks Sports offers generous cycle-commuting benefits to its employees. I'd like to know more specifics.

#biketooter #seabikes #cycleparkingaudit #mastobikes
My road bike in front of the Seattle headquarters of Brooks Sports. Interesting-looking cycle racks in front of Brooks Sports. Each rack looks like a group of circles combined into one shape.

This is what happens when a cycle rack designed to accommodate only the "conventional" cycles is used. A third person riding a cargo bike, trike, bakfiets or anything that would be out of luck.

A cycle rack at Safeway, where two cargo bikes are locked on the ends leaving the middle section empty.

Another business that doesn't bother to provide adequate cycle parking.

My bike locked to a disabled parking post next to Daiso in North Seattle, near N 130th and Aurora Ave N.

Decent cycle racks at REI in Lynnwood. Given how ts current location is in the middle of a car-centric area, I'm a bit surprised that they did bother to install cycle racks. Not that I'm complaining...

Staple-style cycle racks (5 of them?) in front of REI in Lynnwood, WA.

This is what happens when a venue doesn't have cycle parking. I would've turned away except we had a play date here.

Two bikes (mine and my wife's) locked to two poles that display disabled parking signs. It is at McDonald's in Shoreline, WA.

I rarely see another cycle parked at this rack in front of Amazon Fresh in North Seattle.

Horrible cycle racks at Helene Madison Pool in Haller Lake, Seattle. "The more, the better" doesn't apply here.

#biketooter #cycleparkingaudit #seattle
Nine cycle racks installed against the wall, Each of htem is so small, the front wheel can barely be locked. Locking the frame is totally out of the question.

I know this rack is designed and placed badly, but you should still be able to lock your scooter in a more considerate way.

#universityvillage #biketooter #cycleparkingaudit #seabikes
A wavey cycle rack and an electric scooter locked sideways on it so it takes up space for two cycles.

There's only one cycle rack at Seattle Gymnastics Academy, Seattle, WA, and it's installed too close to the building. 😅

Decent cycle racks at Gas Works Park in Seattle, WA. More space between those placed side by side would be nice.

#cycleparkingaudit #biketooter
Six individual staple-type cycle racks next to the playground at Gas Works Park, Seattle, WA. They are grouped in 3s, and would be better with more spaces between them.
