I wouldn't go all that way without breakfast,worst case is you can lock the wheels and put it next to a window possibly where you can see it?

<p>Just like Divvy is starting to be a selling point for condos and apartments, bike parking is becoming essential to businesses. Having bike parking as a Yelp category is fantastic because it is further solidifying how important it is for businesses to request a bike rack from the city.</p>

<p>Next level: I made a huge mistake and forgot my lock to go to meet my friends for dinner at Fountainhead (nicest people, great beer selection, tasty food). When I explained my situation, the restaurant manager came to my rescue, keeping my bike safe in his restaurant. I'm not saying I'd make this a regular habit but restaurants are understanding more and more how important it is to have bike parking (and in my case emergency bike parking). </p> I looked at half a dozen plac…tag:thechainlink.org,2015-11-19:2211490:Comment:9556802015-11-19T03:08:14.498ZThunder Snowhttps://thechainlink.org/profile/Thunder_Snow
I looked at half a dozen places at random on Yelp a little while ago, and every single place was marked as having bike parking. Yelp's guidance for cyclists may not be too accurate or useful.

<p>There have been times when I've visited a suburban restaurant with a group of people and we ended up having to lock all our bikes together and take over a parking spot. Nobody had a right to whine about that, because that one parking spot generated a lot more business for the restaurant than if a car had been parked there. </p>

<p>I may have been feeling extra cranky when I wrote the review, having missed both my morning coffee & breakfast. But Yelp pulled the review, so it really didn't matter. I may be more of a harsh Yelp critic than most. When I see a big car park with no good bike rack or fence to lock up to, I get a little cheesed off.</p>

<p>But, you will notice that Yelp thinks they have bicycle parking, which is not true unless it's been added recently. So, I guess we may not be able to rely on Yelp's data.</p>

<p>One star is a little harsh...</p>
<p>I usually knock off one star for something like this and explain in my review that I knocked off a star for lack of bicycle parking. This is in hopes they will add bicycle parking to their business. I would then update my review.</p>
