This is my pet peeve about Lime devices. They don't need to be locked to a cycle rack. PLEASE don't park them like this and take away the precious space from those of us who have cycles that need to be locked. #BikeTooter #Lime #MastoBikes #Seattle

I always prefer individual racks like these over a corral. These ones are at the Akin building, Lake City, Seattle. #CycleParkingAudit #SEABikes #BikeTooter #MastoBikes

Three bikes locked at three individual racks at the Akin building, Lake City, Seattle. Racks are shaped round and work like staple racks.

New light: Ravemen FR300. I use Ravemen's AGM04 adapter to hang the light underneath my out-front mount. I tried the sandwich method but didn't like the bulk it created with my computer sitting on top of it. #BikeTooter #MastoBikes #SEABikes #Ravemen

The Ravemen FR300 light mounted underneath my K-Edge out-front mount, which also has my Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt 3 computer mounted on top. The K-Edge out-front mount is shown installed on my road bike.

How NOT to lock your bike. Context: At least in my experience, this particular cycle rack is never even half-full. The excuse that "Others locked their bikes in such a way that forced me to do this" would most likely not hold water. #BikeTooter #SEABikes #MastoBikes

Wavey cycle rack at Town & Country in Shoreline, WA, where one bike is locked horizontally to take up space for 3 to 4 bikes.

This is a good cycle rack, but its placement leaves a lot to be desired. Here, my friend and I had to position our bikes like this to be able to lock both on it simultaneously. #SEABikes #CycleParkingAudit #BikeTooter

Two bikes—one bakfits (to the left) and one cargo bike (to the right)—are locked on both ends of a staple cycle rack, positioned perpendicular to the rack since the rack is installed so close to the bush next to it, one side of it is totally useless.
