Available space for bikes went up dramatically in Roslindale Square
By adamg on Mon, 06/06/2016 - 6:30pm
Adam Rogoff was among those attending the dedication for Roslindale Square's new bike corral on Cohasset Street.
The corral, next to the seasonal parklet, gives bike riders a place to stow their bikes as they shop or stroll in the square in an enclosure built out of recycled shipping pallets and steel pipe and dedicated to the memory of George Ulrich of Roslindale, founder of Rozzie Bikes and the Boston Cyclists Union.

This war on cars!
When will it end?
First they came for a parking space in Cambridge, but I said nothing, because I was not a parking space in Cambridge. Then they came for a parking space in Somerville, but I said nothing, because I was not a parking space in Somerville.

Never forget.

I bike every day, and I've never used a corral. Nor have I ever had trouble finding a place to lock my bike in areas that lack corrals.
Good story

Yeah a regular, unladen bike is fine almost anywhere (although sometimes can pose a hazard locked to street signs on busy, narrow sidewalks). But for different loads (trailer or cargo bike -- farmer's market hauling?) having a larger dedicated area is great.

Are corrals designed for trailers or cargo trikes? The one in the picture looks like it isn't.
Looks great!
Now can we fill up some of the many, many empty storefronts, so these bikers have a reason to come down and use it?
Okay who's carrying their kid in a barrel
on a bike cart?
It's just to prevent them falling into gorilla cages
