Bike Parking at the QFC in Wallingford is often full in the evening. 2 thoughts: 1. We need more bike parking 2. With most businesses on arterials streets, people need bike lanes on arterials

1. Always lock your frame at least 1 wheel. It's a simple way to protect more of your bike and to ensure your bike doesn't roll around on the rack (if it rolls, something could get bent/damaged). 2. Even better to use two locks to lock both wheels.
A quality u-lock through the frame and around a bike rack is usually sufficient, unless you have a high end bike (or a hub drive e-bike) and then folks might come after your wheels. Longer u-locks you can sometimes lock a wheel too, like in this graphic from @BikeSecurityAdv

3. If your lock is too small to lock a wheel as shown in our graphic, consider locking your wheel to a rack through your chainstay triangle. It's near impossible to remove your wheel with a lock through it This is the Sheldon Brown Method. youtu.be/tGng3FSBphg?si=9qeD…

Great to see the bike racks well-used at the Bathhouse Theatre at Green Lake. @mnschwin @SeattleParks
