Ugh, I hate these guys.

I finally saw the bike rack in the street yesterday.

It confirmed by thoughts that I would not use it.
Someone at some point will run into it with a car and fawk up every bike on the rack.

There's a rack between the Bridge and the Rotunda that is over 50 feet from the nearest car.
