Walking a bicycle into a store

[His Highness the TibetanMonkey, the Beach Cruiser Philosopher]

That's what I call convenience. I asked at Target, just to make sure,
and they told me that it wasn't allowed for "liability issues." What
the hell is that?

You may bump someone with a shopping cart easier than a bike. And
needless to say, when you leave the bike outside, you may not find it,
adding stress to your shopping experience.

Is this a case of discrimination or simply a confirmation of the fact
that we are insignificant? It is said that THE REVOLUTION IS ABOUT
SOLUTIONS, and this is an issue to be addressed. They just making the
life of the monkey more difficult than it need be.

Private companies can discriminate all they want as long as it doesn't involve a protected group (race, e.g.).

They can also ban people wearing red hats if they like.

Also, a bike is much more likely to be dirty, etc...

The real problem here is not really target, it's a society where
criminal activity is so taken for granted that people have to worry
about leaving their bike outside a store (even when it's not a
particularly expensive bike).

Of course if target were to be nice and progressive, they'd provide
real bike parking, sized according to observed demand... so where
monkey lives presumably 1-2 spaces ... :/

Lots of shopping malls (in UK as well as USA) ban "people wearing
baseball hats", and many banks ban "people wearing motorcycle helmets"
(which is regularly flouted by contractors doing deliveries and
collections).

I want to see them ban hoodies.

Having the legal right to ban something and doing so when it will result in damage to your business are two different things.

Everything is PR. We live in an age of great contradictions. Gays have
accomplished what we only dream of. We are next to the hobos in status.

One rarely succeeds in life by only being right.
