I don't drive a car and hate them very much, but I have this in common with motorists. Only what I'm looking for is a secure place to lock my bike. Which is somehow often rarer than a parking space for cars.
I got my bike stolen while it was locked by the side of a Walmart, so now I'm much more careful about the "parking situation" and I use a bike share or public transit if I fear for the safety of my vehicle.
Yeah somehow finding a pole or something to lock the bike to is impossible sometimes.
It's illegal where I live to lock a bike to "urban furniture", and a pole is also often not the safest place. If not stolen, it will be removed by the city.
How long do you leave your bike somewhere fpr it to be removed by the city??
A few months to a few days. And they leave notices on the bikes before taking them anyway. But the point is, a pole is my least favorite option to lock my bike. It's dead last in the list of choices.
It's an "illegal" last resort that means there's no bike racks near my destination, or they are all full. So just like the meme says, I'm at the stage where if I can't securely park and lock my bike somewhere, I'll turn around or won't go. If there's space for an ocean of parking for cars, there's space for a bike rack somewhere.
