Local place to get a large bike rack?

[fappyheet.livejournal.com]

I recently volunteered to find a bike rack for my church, one capable of holding at least six bikes. No problem finding one on the net (i.e., http://bikeracks.com/), but if there's a business or rehab site in the local area that's removing one, that's obviously easier on the staff budget. It would also be nice to support a local machine shop or metal worker, if they fabricate them somewhere in Boston. Anyone know of a good candidate?

Simmons College is ripping out a bunch of bike racks. This actually pisses me off because I hate the ones they're replacing them with, but maybe some good can come of it? :)

Thanks, I'll give them a call!

The renovations staffer from Simmons sent me an email to say that the bike racks being removed will transfer to the living areas elsewhere on campus that don't have enough. Good to hear they're not just going away!

Oh, man, that's great! I mean, it's still kind of annoying because I'll probably have to park there and walk to the academic side, but it is way better than not having anywhere useful to park. (And I thought it was pretty bizarre of them to just rip out bike parking, rather than augment it. But this makes more sense.)
