Meter Meter Meter
If you didn’t know, Chicago has been screwing up its parking meter system for a while now. Turning it over to not-great private vendors, etc. On some streets, they’ve started that whole “pay at the machine” deal, and apparently on such streets, the now “old-school” parking meters remain “as a courtesy to cyclists.” I’d always wondered about the legality of locking up to one of those, and now at least in some places, it’s totally, obviously cool. Nice one, Chicago!
