Two Nice Racks posts in a row? Might be a sign...

You can't really tell from that picture, but that's actually a bollard (ya know, the kind designed to keep cars from driving or parking on sidewalks) with a bike rack welded to it. If I zoom out, you'll get the full picture (pun intended):
The poles are a bit more cumbersome, and as a result you can't really lock two bikes to one pole, but still, it works:
Philly is by far one of the most bike-friendly cities in the country, but we can always use more bike racks, so this is pretty awesome. You wouldn't believe how often I ride to places and have nowhere to lock up.
