Rather than hassle with locking, I often walk my bike into a store, with
the excuse ready that the bike serves as my shopping cart and that, after
all, its dirt-tracking footprint is smaller than that of your feet.
So far, local groceries and Goodwill have accommodated this without the
metaphorical and conventional batting of eye. Oh, and I did this at the
nearby Walgreen's, too, huffily complaining that, why, the bike rack is
stuck *around the corner!* You can't expect me to trust it there!
I'm girding my metaphorical loins to attempt this at the local Target ...
It helps if you walk in (with bike) with a certain casual *hauteur,* as
if, should someone look askance, that questioning the action is not only
unprecedentedly odd, but in the greatest bad taste. ("What??!!! You've
never seen a bike in your aisles before? How profoundly odd and, somehow,
abnormal.")
