I ran across this sweet new form of bike rack yesterday in Palo Alto.
I really, really like the concept – not because it’s that much better from a utility standpoint (although that half-roof is a nice touch). It’s awesome because it takes the bicycle from something pushed to the side and in the way, to something that is the center of attention – on display, worthy of celebration. The mere presence of this rack is one big advertisement: “ride your bike!”

At some point, this just starts getting ridiculous. Wifi access, anyone?
Yup, you’ll notice that 1200 vertical pixels isn’t enough to even display them all. A little iwlist wlan0 scan reveals 32 networks in range. Talk about redundant access. 80% of these likely funnel through the same 3 or 4 bottlenecks a few hops up anyway. But, I have to say… 32 networks? Sweeeeeet!
