I used my beater bike so I wouldn't have to worry about locking it up as good. I like to lock both tires and bike when I use the good bike as it has quick release, so if a post is too big, it doesn't work. But with my beater bike, I just lock the frame.<br /><br />I think that I could have used the regular bike as it would have worked somewhat and it turned out that we sat in the table right next to the window facing the patio, so it would be easy to watch!<br /><br />Although, to get back to the highway (in the dark) as there is a barrier at the turnoff that I took to get to the hotel, I had to ride over some serious mud that might have been a little too much for my Rocky Mountain's skinny tires.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15485538388245249320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243068447233317736.post-71311106301927408342011-03-27T03:54:42.044-07:002011-03-27T03:54:42.044-07:00Many stores here have added bike racks over the ye...Many stores here have added bike racks over the years or at least have sufficient enough spots for parking.<br /><br />I seldom eat out (at best once per year), though in passing it seems only the odd fast food place offers proper bike racks (McDonalds & Burger King).<br />Restaurants such as Montana's & Kelsey's don't really offer any bike racks, however they are landscaped in such a way you could use trees (too public for anyone to try and chop it down:P )<br /><br />We don't have any casinos in my city, however there are two exceptionally large casinos in Niagara Falls which is fairly close (perhaps an hour by bike).<br />I haven't actually been to either of them, however two years ago when I went for a ride to Niagara Falls, I did notice 50-80 bikes in the back parked at our newer casino. I was told those were employees.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589492356827998591noreply@blogger.com
