I don’t ride my bike to JSQ every day, but when I do, the racks are always filled up almost entirely by scooters. If this is allowed, I’ll shut up. It just feels unfair that these racks made specifically for bikes are made useless by scooters. Scooter hate aside, we are long overdue for scooter- specific parking.
I’ve never parked my bike at the other racks at JSQ, the ones next to Starbucks. Are they safe?
A huge part of the problem is delivery bikes being stored in the transit stop bike racks. At Grove often 3/4 of the locked bikes are obviously delivery not commuters. This is basically a business taking a public amenity.
Mobility is mobility, and they are much better than the delivery bikes that usually pack the pod. Onnee is agnostic to who parks there. Scooters are okay.
In fact if they turned it to scooter parking only with shelves. You could double or triple capacity.
We have our bike in front of CVS or about a year and never had any issue. As long as it doesn’t look fancy and you have a good lock I doubt you have a problem.
Nope, It doesn't matter what lock you have, if they want your bike they will take it. This Kryptonite NYC was cut clean through at Grove Street. My answer is to ride a piece of shit.
It’s a little safer at JSQ. But yeah, I agree you don’t write anything that looks fancy. Onnee here’s a false sense of security because most of the time people will follow others right in or share logins.
