When we were in Copenhagen, it was tough to find a parking space for
bikes, there were so many of them. We asked the locals, and they ride
them all year round, not just in fair weather.

I wonder if we will ever have a bike parking problem

We already do. Because of the masses of people who expect a car spot
at the local Safeway, they don't bother providing parking spots for
bicycles.

Oh, that's not what you meant.

It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it
is. If you don't, it's its. Then too, it's hers. It isn't her's. It
isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs.

It's only about 1.5km to my local Aldi, so I usually take a
wheelbarrow.

No, I am *not* a crackpot! ;-)

So you wheel the trolley home then - bugger the $2? - they do come in handy.

I was at the Melbourne International Film Festival last year and heard
people in the queue complaining that they had to walk 500m from the
nearest bike parking spot they could find to the cinema. That was on a
Saturday night in winter. Just about every signpost was fully occupied
with bikes.

Funny I didn't see a single cyclist at Chadstone shopping centre
yesterday yet the bike track down the abandoned outer circle railway
line is no more than 300m away. I suppose they all drive their
4x4/4WD/SUV's.
