Once we hit a critical mass of cyclists, more places will start getting valet bike parking or at least monitored bike parking. It’ll happen with breweries and trail adjacent businesses first. My town offers event racks at street fairs and parades and such. Not sure if they are monitored.

We can speed this along by requiring all commercial buildings of a certain size, renovated or newly constructed to have a signed bike room or monitored rack area.

It’s a shame that one asshole can ruin the fun for so many people. For $8k+ he could have stolen a single Ram 3500 hemi super duty mega cab instead and only negatively impacted a few people while making the roads safer for everyone.
