Belmont bike parking an instant hit

Last week, the Belmont neighborhood welcomed two new on-street bike parking facilities to SE Belmont Street. I published photos from Bill Stites the day they went in but at that time the staples hadn’t been installed.

Now the staples are in and Bill sent me a photo showing just how quickly they’ve filled up…

Bill says crews hadn’t even finished installing the racks and people were already locking up.

Could my neighborhood be any more cool?

Oh, yeah, fewer car break-ins from the Tweakers would be nice…
