Austin bike rack FAIL

October 18th, 2008 · Posted by Julie Gomoll

One of the upsides of the ridiculous prices of gas is that more people are riding bikes. Unfortunately, there aren’t enough places to park them.

I found this makeshift bike rack right around the corner from LaunchPad Coworking. We’re working with the city to get more proper racks installed.

Update: This email came from the City of Austin on 10/20/08:

Thanks for the picture.  I still have you guys on the list and will let
you know when they are ready.  I expect in about 1 month.

Thanks, Nathan

    Haha… that’s right out in front of our building: Capitol Tower. I think at least two of those bikes belong to owners whom work at LatinWorks. The building actually has bike racks in the parking garage, but they’re less convenient than just locking up right outside the door.

    Your building and the building for LaunchPad Coworking are owned by the same people - PRS in Michigan. We’re going to be neighbors soon :)

    I do like that there’s free scooter parking in that garage.
