- bacon_waffle 7y agoWe had a wonderful irony in local elections recently: the newly elected mayor doesn't have a driver's license, he hitchhiked to work previously as a city counselor and plans to continue that as mayor. Many of his opponents had car parking high on their platforms :).
- bluGill 7y agoBut they need a bike park instead. Granted you can park 5-10 bikes in the space of a car (depending on the size of the bikes and car), but we still need to have this space.

- crooked-v 7y ago> Granted you can park 5-10 bikes in the space of a car Substantially more than that. Don't forget about vertical staggering and about the space saved from not needing a safety margin between car spaces.
