Wow - towed?? I didn't realize bikes could even be "illegal"! I've locked to trees and posts with abandon ?! I would love to see not only more bike racks everywhere, but even a covered area functioning more like a lot would be ideal! Cyclists should be rewarded for their environmental efforts, not treated like fringe dwellers. You're onto something, CK! Thanks for commenting!

Unfortunately, here in Atlanta, it is not easy to walk or ride when running errands or moving around town. So different from Japan. In Japan, I rode my bike everywhere - dinner, subway, grocery store, drycleaner, etc. Tokyo is a very bike friendly city. Although, twice my bike was "towed" and locked up with all the other bikers who parked illegally. Do you think bike "parking" lots would work in the U.S. This is great.
