BlueBike station in West Roxbury with errant bike

A roving UHub photographer came across this scene outside the post office on Centre Street in West Roxbury today, wonders if maybe West Roxbury hasn't quite got the hang of this Bluebike thing yet.

Did the Blue Bikes rack lock up the personal bike as well?

I could see someone who had no idea what it was get their bike stuck. It doesn't say "no personal bikes" anywhere on there.

... made me chuckle. Thanks!

Ha. The bike version of Masshole!

It appears that a demand for bicycle parking facilities is not being met by the current streetscape. This poor substitute was better than anything else nearby.

If you want more people to ride bicycles for short trips, you’d be more active in developing street furniture that provides facilities like racks that allow secure parking for cyclists’ vehicles.

What did you expect from Massholes?

I don't think the Bluebike station would lock a normal bike in. This bike doesn't appear to even be locked at all, so maybe someone stole it/took it for a joy ride and just left it there.
