I suppose you might call it the only way to get from a public road to a shop. Also, most supermarkets have bike stands outside accessed by riding up to them through the car park. |

So what business would a cyclist have in the parts of the car-park marked off for the parking of motor-vehicles? But that's only one sort of car-park. What about municipal and similar open-air car-parks not attached to a particular venue but instead serving a town centre in general? Or multi-story "parking structures" as some of our friends and relatives call them? What legitimate business do either cyclists or non-car-occupant pedestrians have in those? |

I'm not sure cyclists have a right to a path when the land is private, even if a shop owns it. |

It's ridiculous to suggest that a customer cannot use the car-park to park a car. Whether the customer complies with the rules for personal admission to the main premises is prhaps not as important as ome like to "think". They might only be there to fill the car with fuel. Or perhaps they're waiting for a household member to emerge with the trolley-load of groceries. |

(If they provide cycle stands, isn't it a fair expectation that they can be accessed?) |

Nugent has trouble conceiving of cycling as a viable means of shopping -- Bah, and indeed, Humbug. |
