Me, what makes you think that?

My local Waitrose has Sheffiled stands (but not that many) right outside the front door. They also have a loan scheme whereby they let you have a bicycle trailer to take your goods home in. Nearly full marks to them.
These people are definitely anoraks - Useless Cycle Parking - GMCC
What I can't understand is the inconsistency with supermarket ones though,
For example Tesco's get a bad write up in general for their cycle parking (and my local one is no exception there), on the other hand when I was riding though Hexham last month I found these: -
Not undercover and screwed in rather than concreted, but I'd be happy if I found this at my local shop.
(and no I don't just go round photographing cycle parking- I was just amazed by how many spaces they'ed allocated )
Sadly, no-one seems to have been using the stands when you took the photo - although the car park is full.What I can't understand is the inconsistency with supermarket ones though,

I don't have a problem with the stands being a short walk away from the store entrance. What would be useful would be for the stands to be close to a trolley park. We usually wheel the filled panniers to the bikes in a trolley. Also nice, would be if the supermarket put up a sign at the main entrance, indicating where the bike racks are. Useful if you're in a strange place.
Now, will all you peasants please stop moaning, and bugger off to Iceland where you belong
Does anyone know if there was any response by any of the Manchester area councils to that report?
