Agreed that there IS a cause and effect relationship at work here - 90% of people will drive a car, need to drive a car. Whatever. My issue is that there is absolutly no thought put to the possibility that some people can/would come by some alternate means of transit.
Agreed that many of these stores are so far out in the middle of no where that a car IS the only option However,there is a large shopping plaza( with a Home Depot, a Zellers and a large Grocery store) in my home town, that has several thousand homes all within a couple of kilometeres, and none of the stores has bike racks. I have sat in the Cafe in the plaza and watched people get in their car at their house drive across the road and across the parking lot to buy a bottle of pop and then drive home!
