What’s maddening is that the area surrounding this new store is among the best for dedicated bike paths in the city.
Why would someone choose to bike to Costco
Are there people who do not purchase a carload of goods when they go?
For starters, Costco has a pharmacy, optical and hearing aid departments, as well as a bakery, among other services. None of these require a large SUV or even a small car for.
Second, you don’t have to buy a carload of stuff from costo, and even a basic cargo bike or bike trailer or panniers can get you a ton of products. Most shoppers won’t be filling more than one cart.
The point is, they have a bike rack, which currently serves no purpose the way it’s been installed. This low effort doesn’t benefit them or their non-car customers.
Fwiw 😉:
