One would have hoped that the wheel-bending "concrete slot" type of cycle stand had long been superseded by frame-supporting ("Sheffield" type) stands. But apparently not. This is clearly a relatively modern installation; it incorporates two concessions to present-day needs - an extra slot has been incorporated to accept wider mountain-bike type tyres and a ring to accept cable locks has been included.
