Inadequate bike rack

I just rode my bike over to Tops & Rite Aid over on Niagara. Rite Aid's bike rack was at least identifiable as a bike rack, but it wasn't securely secured to the ground. Tops' bike rack was insufficient, so I locked my bike to a locked cart. Carlos the Cart Guard (that's what his nametag said) kinda scolded me, so I asked him what I should do next time since the rack was clearly inadequate. He suggested I get a different kind of lock. :-p

I've been trying to increase the amount of biking-as-transportation I do and I've found that bike racks are not evenly distributed around the city. At the First Niagara where we have our business account, we have to use a street sign. The account rep we spoke with said the racks have been stolen in the past and they don't want to keep replacing them. At the Washington Street post office, we use the hand rail. Allentown has lots of bike racks.
