I saw this in Kendall Square, Cambridge, on my commute recently:

 

What an awesome sight! I've seen similar on-street bike parking in Boston, Somerville, and even suburban Lexington. Why do we think this is so great? Several reasons:

• It increases the number of bike racks dramatically and quickly


• It uses existing space (usually a parking space)


• It's mobile - so installation is simple and relocation is easy


• It's good business - you get more customers from 15 bikes than 1 car


• And nothing says "Bikes Matter" more clearly than taking space from cars!

So what do you think about this? Where else have you seen it in Massachusetts?
