A pub in a nearby (12 miles) town installed 4 bike racks shortly after I'd asked where I could leave my bike. :D Was it coincidence?

My local CooP uses the cycle park for trolleys. By way of protest I leave my bike right by the door. After complaining I've been told we are getting better racks after a refurb.

Which co-op is that? If you tell me, I'll ask them to reply.

It is in Moffat. I have been in contact with them via Twitter and they assured me,six weeks ago, after the refurb,which starts this week, there will be new cycle racks. I'm watching and lo betide if they don't appear [emoji2]

My co-op does exactly the same, so much so that at first I thought they were actually for trolleys, but in my case I've always found enough space to use at least one of them, and if there wasn't, I'd move the trolleys. Better hope that the new racks are Sheffield ones, not the ones that only lock the front wheel, which to my mind, ought not to be allowed to be sold, never mind installed.
