The Militant Angeleno reported Friday on the Dodger Stadium “bike parking facility” — mentioned on Dodger Thoughts and End Pavement last month. The Militant came away less than impressed.
So behold: standing some 50 feet west of the main ticket office outside of the Stadium’s Top Of The Park souvenir shop is your Dodger Stadium bicycle parking facility — all eight feet of it in its shining aluminum splendor.
On the awesome side, the Militant may or may not have been the first cyclist evar to lock up his bike in the new Dodger Stadium bicycle parking facility (pictured above). The Militant Makes History! But on the foul side, designed for 20 bicycles (perhaps more if you’re creative enough), this bike rack, known in cycling circles as a “wheelbender” is normally frowned upon by more experienced bicyclists, as not only, as its moniker suggests, do they allow thinner-wheeled bikes to get bent more than a Bart Simpsonesque insult, but if you don’t park your bike correctly, they can leave you with 2/3rds of your bicycle missing.
