Delray high schooler adds bike racks to local parks - Sun Sentinel

With the help of enterprising residents, Delray Beach is adding to its supply of bike racks and storage facilities in parks and downtown areas. Click title for link. From the article:
"Unless you're going to ride down the block and go directly home, you're going to stop and have to store your bike securely," said Patrick Halliday, president of the Delray Beach Bike Club, who helped with the installations.
He said finding the proper place to do that can be challenging.
"Just on Atlantic Avenue I see bikes chained to parking signs, stop signs, meters, trees," Halliday said. "The racks will help immensely."
Well, that is just the condition that we have in downtown Lake Worth. There are few if any bike racks along Lake and Lucerne. People with bikes are left to chain them to any tied-down, inanimate object while they run their errands. And, while we are at it, the bike rack at City Hall is sized for elementary school aged child's bike, not for adult's.
