On-street bike parking

Over at the TAB blog, there's a vigorous discussion about the propriety of using parking spaces for bike parking, a discussion prompted by Nathan's ice-cream adventures post. Brought to mind this video from Portland, Oregon.



There seems to be some consensus that Newton Centre needs more bike racks. But, where you going to put them? Taking a few on-street spaces -- even on just a seasonal basis -- would seem to be a good allocation of available real estate.
