Ever want to tell someone who would listen about a spot that needs a bike rack? Now there’s an app for that.
Named “Got Bike Racks?,” the app (it’s more of a web-based survey and mapping tool, but still pretty cool) will help the University Bike Collective make an argument for getting bike racks where they are needed. The tool allows you to make a case for your spot, include a photo and comment on the requests of others.
Requests on the site so far include one for more racks at The Fresh Grocer. We echo that, but would add that the Supreme Shop ‘n Bag at 43rd and Walnut could use a couple more. Oh, and as long as you’re asking, how about 30th Street Station?
The app will be up until mid March.

I agree with the Supreme Shop ‘n Bag and the 30th Street Station
But I’d like to add that the West Philadelphia Senior Community Center at 1016 N. 41st Street needs some for the people who work and volunteer there.
The Children’s Hospital Karabots Center at 48th and Market could use one for the same reason.

I can think of some bike racks that should have bike racks.

HUP needs more bike racks in from, near the main doors. The nursing school on Penn’s campus has very few for the huge amount of traffic that building gets.
What about every street block?! …every other?

YMCA on 51st & Chestnut has NO bike racks.
