How decent bike parking could revolutionize cities

I live in Berkeley and ride constantly. I occasionally have trouble finding a pole to tie my bike to but generally I have absolutely no trouble.

I'd say parking is only a problem in places like New York City and maybe Chicago. Traffic, on the other hand, is something that scares a lot of people.

When I lived in Berkeley, a bicycle thief cut down a tree in my back yard to steal my roommate's bike which was locked to it. YMMV.

Incidentally, automobile traffic moves about as quickly in the city center as does bicycle traffic. Outside of the center, a bike moves about as quickly as a city bus. (Seems like I play leapfrog with a bus every time I ride down Roosevelt or Damen.)

Indeed, bus leap frog is one my less favorite games but I've played it quite a bit...
