Here in Dead Moines, er, Des Moines, the city is now catching on to this and providing parking meters with the circles to lock up bikes (not as cool as the one pictured with the bike, but same general shape) .

On a unrelated side note: I just purchased a used Freeradical kit today! Can’t wait to get her installed on my rig.
