There’s a little known section of Regina’s bylaws which outline how much bicycle parking must be included in certain building situations. It’s especially important to have good bike parking at grocery stores, since people who use bicycles as their primary vehicle tend to also carry groceries using their bikes. When I was cycling regularly to work, I certainly went to the grocery store on my way home from work a couple times a week.

Martin at Regina Urban Ecology has discussed more on this topic, so please head over to the RUE blog for more details. Maybe you can point out to a business you frequent if you’re happy or not with their bicycle parking situation.
