Cycling in Waterloo Region

[Chris]

Even when you find a bike rack at a mall, it is usually the most useless kind, or sometimes there are a handful of post and rings. This Walmart is an exception.

Sounds like it's time for me to get my email-writing hands ready to bother all the local malls about their bike infrastructure. It boggles the mind that the city is putting all this work into the bike grid, and yet doesn't seem to be encouraging local businesses to install a couple spots of bike parking.

Definitely an issue. Reminds me of this recent video I watched on winter cycling in Calgary vs Oulu, Finland. Despite good bike infrastructure, they don't have decent parking options when you get to your destination. An entertaining 30 mins helped kill time on the bike trainer.
