You almost certainly want to keep your bike riders safe while they're locking up and retrieving their rides. As someone who enjoyed using his bike to get around while living in Savannah, I'm happy to hear that riders are getting some more respect nowadays.

Does anyone know why the area blocked off for bikes, and painted yellow (after the photo above was taken) is twice the size of the 3 racks installed? It is good to have the City involved in this. Finally! (It is of note that the existing racks referred to above were purchased by and installed privately by the owners of Brighter Day Natural Foods.)
