What's the deal with bike shops that don't have bike parking? (lemmy.ca)

I've been to a few bike shops that don't have any bike racks outside. It's bizarre. Like, you have to bring your bike in the shop just to pick something up or to have a look around.

I'm not even talking about one place that does this, I have at least three in the area where there are no bike racks at all.

Is this normal? Why???

That's not true in general. Most cities have ordinances around required side walk space and minimum parking requirements which prevents businesses from installing bike racks on the sidewalk or in a parking space.
