I know that this is the cycling community, but… Why would someone choose to bike to Costco unless they are an employee? Are there people who do not purchase a carload of goods when they go? Cyclists are nowhere near Costco’s target demographic, so this really doesn’t seem surprising.
Are there people who do not purchase a carload of goods when they go?
For starters, Costco has a pharmacy, optical and hearing aid departments, as well as a bakery, among other services. None of these require a large SUV or even a small car for.
Second, you don’t have to buy a carload of stuff from costo, and even a basic cargo bike or bike trailer or panniers can get you a ton of products. Most shoppers won’t be filling more than one cart.
The point is, they have a bike rack, which currently serves no purpose the way it’s been installed. This low effort doesn’t benefit them or their non-car customers.
