I really like these vertical hook/racks with the sheltered awning:


would love to see some of these around town at key places where there's lots of year-round bike traffic.

I found those vertical racks online for around $90 each. Not sure how that would compare to having them custom made, but if I owned a business location and was looking for something different and unobtrusive in terms of bike parking, I would seriously consider something like this.
