Prompted by this photograph taken by BNB's Jacqui Irwin of an increasingly popular bike rack in Nelson, we thought we'd ask for your help and try to find the best and the worst places to park your bike in Nelson.

Bike racks come in a wide range of designs, some more bike friendly than others, particularly when it comes to avoiding damage to your wheels, brake rotors or your frame. Some are better positioned than others with respect to convenience to a shop/business etc. or being under cover and in a secure environment for example.

Where are you happy to park you precious two wheels and where do you avoid ? Does the availability of good cycle parking affect where you shop/go for coffee etc. ? Why not send us your pick of the good, the bad and the ugly.
