• Grill rack - Round tube (no security); only bolted enough to prevent from sliding around.
• Bollard rack - Round tubes (usually solid, though); bolt type and method varies.
• Chicago U-rack - 2 spaces. These are bolted to the ground with mushroom head spikes. They are drilled almost 4 inches into concrete; the only way to remove them is to sever their heads (all 6-8 of them).

  • Chicago wave racks - The distance between vertical tubes is wide, making it easy to lock one's bike when a bike is already locked here
    • A3 - 4 spaces, 2 humps.
