This is a current problem for Mr BobFossil
He has a beautiful bike, loves cycling (as much as I do, if not more!), and would happily cycle to work every day, but for one thing: a distinct lack of bike racks at work.

His company moved offices recently, and took great delight in sending one of those wanky corporate emails around saying "what lovely offices we now have! And we're doing our bit to save the environment by having employee cycle-racks in the basement etc etc". Except they've only put 10 racks in. Which were taken very quickly indeed. It's too much of a nice bike to leave locked outside to the lamppost (it would go missing within a couple of hours), and the company aren't prepared to get any more racks put in, despite there being plenty of room.

The government needs to make it easier for people to cycle: better paths (that don't have lampposts in the middle of them, or that don't suddenly stop for no apparent reason), more places to leave them, and better attitudes towards cycling.
