If I was an owner, I'd have a lot of problems with this just because I'd be worried there'd be some regulation I was violating that would get me fined.

- woodruffw 4y agoIf it's on the owner's property, it's probably kosher. Many cities have rules about the proximity of bike racks/stands to fire hydrants, parking meters, etc., but those generally concern public sidewalks. I say probably because, knowing this country, I am positive someone can find a municipality that bans storeowners from putting bike stands on their property.
- aidenn0 4y agoOne example from Twitter thread: Might need a tapping bar for accessibility to blind people.
- idontpost 4y agoBlind people that need to attach their bikes to a rack?
- Rebelgecko 4y agoPresumably blind people that don't want to bruise their shins walking into one
- mgdlbp 4y agoSo much for search engine NLP. I couldn't find anything other than pages with Sheffield stands for sale using the term "tapping bar". Had to read the tweet[1] to get the term "tapping rail", which successfully turns up civil engineering documents. Maybe creating a Wikidata item with both terms as labels would give search engines a better idea.

- HWR_14 4y agoIf the city is installing them (via subcontractor) are you worried about the city then claiming you broke a city building code?
- foobiekr 4y ago“Probably kosher” is kind of my point. Are you offering to indemnify them?
- Angostura 4y agoIf the city is paying for them and installing them, I think you have to try quite hard to be worried.
