But not at White Marsh, of course. Still, it’s pretty awesome that Ikea thinks like they do. Banning plastic bags, marking everything for recycling, the re-purposed banana leaf chairs in my living room.

Still, I wish that the company had thought to put “Ikea Baltimore” somewhere near the city, rather than in the sprawl wastelands of big parking lots, faded to grey and crumbling. I don’t know where they could have put it. Just in actual Baltimore.

Yeah, you have to get on the motorway to get to our ‘local’ IKEA (which is not even in this town), it’s not really near any residential areas, and I don’t think you can easily get there by bike.
I heard that some Waitrose (UK supermarket) stores are piloting a bike trailer hire scheme, but our local one isn’t.

Damn! Those bikes are hot, too. Brooks sprung saddles. Long easy geometry.
Totally Frenchie delivery style. Nice.

Yeah those are nice rides. I would go to IKEA just to take one for a spin.

I think you can order those bikes in the US, sans the Ikea logo. I’ll have to dig up the link.
