[Image taken 24.5.09] B&Q, Old Kent Road, London. [NOTE: No streetview at this location.] Context: #178866 (and links). Chains have been added to the posts that separate the bike racks from the nearest motor vehicle parking space. I arrived as the owners of the two bikes shown in the background were struggling to secure them to the railings of the trolley park. I asked them if they were using that area because they preferred it or because they did not know there was cycle parking. The latter reason was true. They followed me to the racks and had secured their bikes in no time. There are many reasons people don't use cycle parking provided. Sometimes, as here, it is because racks are provided but not signposted and not visible.
