[Image taken 14.4.21] Sheffields (racks) in front of Boots and next to Greggs, Monks Cross, (Huntington), York. The aisle (gap between the racks) is just 187cm wide. The racks on the other side were in use. Baskets on the front of cycles often cause the wheel to turn. The narrowness of the aisle meant I needed to be able to roll my cycle backwards into the space between the Sheffields behind. I couldn't. Therefore I had to do a vertical multiple-point turn. Not everyone can lift their cycle or not in every situation. I would have struggled had my panniers been full ie had I been to the supermarket before visiting Boots. For a closer image see: #167155. For protective bollards blocking racks at Asda, Monks Cross, see: #167156. (Note: Streetview shows the previous design of this retail park)
