“Many bikers could not resist the urge to ride inside the store. ”
These would probably be children. They should be supervised anyway. I can guarantee you that I won’t be riding around the store!
“Bicycle theft would increase, simply because bikers would abandon their bikes inside the store ”
If we want to bring our bikes in the store to avoid theft in the first place, why would we then abandon them inside the store? Again, sounds like you are talking more about children than responsible, bike-riding adults (we do exist!)
“as well as blocking the aisles for handicapped people ”
Again, back to my nemesis the giant stroller…it does a much better job of that.
“Bikes in stores and malls is not a good idea.”
It seems like you would punish the good, responsible, adult bike riders because of the behavior of children. I don’t think that’s fair.
