Not an earth shattering nor hugely relevant entry, however:

With limited places to lock one's bicycle in this world, doesn't it make sense to lock one's bicycle so that one's lock is accessible by it's owner (outward towards the owner's bike) and does not interfere with the locking options of another bicycle on the other side of the same post in a way that both bicycles may each have free access to their respective locks on the same post?  When someone locks up in a way that restricts the locking of another bicycle to the same post or causes that second human to worry about the first human's unlocking, it is a limiting factor for all; this is a bicycle locking problem.  All bicyclists should strive to lock up logically with forethought for the next so that each has locking access to the post.  This is  'Bicycle Logic' and courteous behavior toward the next person who could be YOU.  (especially when meeting that hot date or going to see that awesome band by bicycle) 
Perhaps I have overthunk this issue, but I see it all the time and am bewildered constantly by the simplicity of the solution.  Sometimes I leave a note as to Bicycle locking "Logic".  Am I Crazy; should I still leave notes?  "Lock your bike with the lock access outwards toward your bike, please. Leave room for others"

Seconded. I don't really understand this post from just the description given.
