Supermarkets Should Provide Decent And Safe Parking Facilities For Cyclists
For
The Disabled, Parents With Children And Motorists Are Catered For But Although They Encourage Us To Take Up Cycling It Doesn't Seem To Apply To Cycling Shoppers. When Telling Us To Think 'green' Shouldn't They Include Cycle Parking For Shoppers.

 Speaking as a person that works in one even if we do it dose not matter. I am for it . But cyclist are usually the most inconsiderate of all customers. They tend to lock there bikes to cart carals with a bike rack 2 feet away or they tend ti bring them in the store and drop them at the door way causing a hazzerd. Sojust remember this if you ride to a grocery store use the rack not the front door to park your bike or a cart caral.

 I totally agree and a lot of places in the town where I live do provide such a place.

 I am all for this. More and more people are cycling, and there should be adequate facilities for them.

 Yes. I have noticed at my local supermarket that I see the bike racks were regularly full even when I went at a less busy time. I realised why this was when a member of staff came and took their bike to go home! Obviously they don't even supply racks for their own staff. Supermarkets do not want you to use your bike because it means you won't fill up at their petrol stations as often and also you cannot carry a car load of shopping on a bike!

 Yes. Many of them already has. But most of them doesn't. So they should think making them.

 I agree, but most of them already have bike racks by the doors.

 Supermarkets should discourage cycling and eliminate all cycle parking, IMHO.

Which "they" is encouraging you to take up cycling? That's about the worst thing you can do for the environment, clogging traffic and causing more cars to idle, spewing exhaust into the air. And think about the energy it takes to manufuacture those bicycles that cause all that car pollution.

If you were truly green, you'd hoof it to the grocery store, and use the door the grocers generously provide for you.
