I think a bike rack is a great idea. The details of how and where don't matter
so much to me. But how about in the lawn area to the left of the main entrance
(when facing the entrance)?

Stacy's suggestion for racks is great, far better than wavy.
I don't think we need slab - on really wet days people probably won't ride to
worship, there is not (that I know of) enough bike traffic to cause the area to
turn desolate, and the less impenetrable ground cover the better.
I like front where ne're-do-wells are less likely be tempted and riders can
enter church from front but without interfering with people coming and going as
riders fusel around their bikes.

1.) Is this a good idea
Yes
2) Do we need a slab for a bicycle rack?
Probably. I wouldn't have suggested that we go a really long way out of our
way to get one, but in this set of circumstances it seems like a good idea.
3) Would [this] be a good time to pour a small slab for a bicycle rack?
Yes.
4) Where should that rack be located?
I'm ok with pretty much anywhere.
But my two favorite choices (in order of preference) are:
a) Near the pathway to the back gate (near the HVAC enclosure). This has the
benefit of being out of the wayish while still being convenient.
b) Near the front door to the church. I don't have a huge preference any
which way, but I think next to the sidewalk that bisects the semicircular piece
of land transcribed by the driveway and the road would be good.
5.) You didn't ask, but while I like the wave style ok if I had my choice it
would be four to six of these

row.

A new sidewalk will be poured next week at AMC. The new 48 inch sidewalk will
connect the street sidewalk to the south entrance of the facility primarily
used by the child development center. The current sidewalk is 36 inches wide
and has been lifted and cracked by tree roots. It will be removed.
We will also pour a cement slab on the south side of the furnace area for the
trash and recycling carts. A fence will be built around that slab.
These two projects do not require a large amount of cement and we were
wondering if while we had a crew on hand and a cement truck delivering a load
of concrete if it would be a good time to pour a small slab for a bicycle rack?
Where should that rack be located? Our bicyclers currently park their bikes
in the playground area, either bringing them through the front doors of the
church or around the side of the church.
Do we need a slab for a bicycle rack? Here's a link to the wave style.

Give us some feedback and your ideas about this. Some of our bicyclers have
said they would like a rack near the front door so their bikes would be more
secure. Where in front? Near the red bench? Closer to the front door?
Any thoughts? Is this a good idea?
