Dear newest national museum located in downtown Halifax: When I call to ask if there’s a bike rack where I can lock up my bicycle, the answer isn’t to tell me to call the Port Authority. It’s to look out your window and see if there’s a bike rack. —Pretentious Halifax Cyclist

not in their contract to act like humans 🙂
easiest thing in the world to do o.p., is to know beforehand, if there is or isn’t. and why bother locking your bike anyway, don’t you read this board, about how many bikes are being ripped off in this city. just take your your bike, throw on ground, flatten a tire, and bet it will be there, when you get back. make sure you carry a pump in your backpack though. smartest trick in the book. thieves are too fucking lazy to put air in tires and they can’t take the chance of walking the bike away. think on it.
It’s not their job to cater to your dumb ass, dumbass.
You do realize it would have taken less energy to call the Port authority or whomever to find the question to your answer then it would have been to write this bitch.
Just Sayin.
Seriously though – anybody working the front desk should probably know what services they can offer to the general public… including price of parking or whether there’s a place to lock up your bike. For your info, OP, I’m pretty sure there is.
Fuck the OP. 1fa1 killed the thread and OP’s stupid rant with simple logic =D
Google Street View.

WIN!
Never been there, never would want to go either.
Why thank-you NGF.
Sometimes you can’t beat good ol’ logic.
as long as we’re not talking about “L0GiC” here… I would tend to agree.
Who’s to say he didn’t call? And then post a bitch ’cause he was grouchin’ about the ignorance of staff. Isn’t that what this bitch board is for? Hellllooooooo….
Even if there wasn’t a bike rack I guarantee there’s other bike racks within walking distance…
All of Wednesday’s bitches were lame. Just sayin’. Let’s get some good Thursday stuff up.
True enough zZz 🙂
Umm…you really need a bike rack to lock up your bike?? Won’t any pole or post do? Or you want a designated pole? Jeeeez.
How did I get dragged into this? Lol
I did call the Port Authority, and I laughed hysterically with the lass there that answered the phone over the absurdity of it all 🙂 I submitted this as a bitch because it was so awesomely stupid- I really had to wonder if the general inquiries line went to a call centre in India or something. Should any of you like to know, there is a bike rack at Pier 21, and many thanks for all the brilliant ridiculous comments you guys!
