never understood how people could do that.... a shame a dam shame
although... who am I to talk?... I... against my own ethic... leave my young son's bike outside where it has taken on a bit of a beating from the wet weather
Well, most of these shots were taken just outside a supermarket in downtown Toronto. The supermarket has the most bike parking I have ever seen for a business of this type. However, while the parking lot gets nicely plowed, the bike parking area becomes the dumping zone for the leftover snow from the sidewalk. I suppose they do not care about the big number of cycling customers as much as their driving/polluting clientele.
You are parked at your destination during a snowstorm, and the plow comes by while you're there and piles you in.
Or you leave your bike outside overnight because you have an apartment where its too awkward/small to bring inside. You leave a beater outside at a place you want to keep a bike (like the subway) which isn't your home. Although generally bikes outside overnight in Toronto have a tendency to disappear no matter how locked and how beater-ish they are. (unfortunately!)

Good points, Tanya. Bikes get no repect do they?
No, unfortunately not. I just posted a picture of where the bike lane became a dumping zone for snow, but that's nothing new...
