I also want to include a bike rack just for those who rides a bike daily and wants to rest somewhere. It wouldn't take too much space and I think it will be a convenient element for many. Source: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bike_rack_on_229th_-_Hillsboro,_Oregon.JPG

Comments

A bike rack is a great element to include! It's beneficial to the whole community and encourages people to bike more - a great form of exercise, especially since most kids spend all of their indoor nowadays.
