This compact, minimalist design can be found on the side of Corti Bros Deli and Grocery. While I appreciate their effort to include bicycle parking at the store, this design falls short. The loops just don't go far enough out from the wall, it is impossible to lock both the bike frame and wheel using a good-sized U-lock.
I haven't tried parking a road bike here, with the narrower, drop-bar design. It maybe possible that a narrower bike can lock completely to this little loop. In the meantime, a simple fix would be to attach a heavy chain or another welded loop, to give a bit more reach.
