This store just opened up a few months back, and they had zero bike parking.

I emailed their head office, saying that I was planning to shop there, but not until they added a bike rack.

Went to check last night, and boom! Bike rack!

Probably not bolted down and installed properly either. Which part of the US is this?

Also even if it wasn’t, that’s a public footpath? That would be completely blocked by a bike going across it?

Either this is layers of stupid, or the original OP came on the Internet to tell lies.

The path ends right there. You cannot go around the corner. There is nothing, that is blocked.

No, it’s the right way around. The designers just did a bad job.

No, you stick your wheel between the parallel bars and you can lock the wheel and frame to the rack with a u-lock or chain.

I thought the wheel was supposed to sit between the two bars on the ground

That’s just the shadow of the vertical bars
