I saw this happen at the BC Children's Hospital site. It has never stopped me from parking by bike if no other space is available. Cheers, Al P.S.

Two scenarios apply to this situation:

1) The bike has been stolen and the owner is to bummed out to remove the lock

2) The bicycle commuter always parks their bike there so the the space is “reserved” for when they return. I saw this happen at the BC Children’s Hospital site.

It has never stopped me from parking by bike if no other space is available.

Cheers,

Al
