“My employees have complained for years about the lack of bike racks,” owner Leigh Lockhart said. “This isn’t a good system.”

Lockhart is pushing for more bike racks downtown as a way to promote cycling and reduce the need to drive in the area. The PedNet Coalition also supports the installation of more bike racks . . . .

Lockhart said that most of Main Squeeze’s customers and employees bike or walk to the restaurant and that the number and type of bike racks lining Ninth Street are inadequate. U-shaped bars attached to the street’s meters allow for bikes to be chained on the sidewalk parallel to the street.
