Going to Walmart

I decided to go to Walmart to pick up a convex mirror to stick on my nearly useless aftermarket bicycle mirror. However,the only way to get one was to go to Wally World via the sidewalks. I really don't like riding on sidewalks since it reinforces the notion that bicycles don't deserve the road. However, I didn't want to chance being run over by a fast driving petrol powered car either. So, I reluctantly took this naughty path to the store. When I arrived, I found that there was no specific place for bicycles to be locked up. However, the area was not totally hostile to cyclists. I found I could lock-up to a bench. Plus, cameras in the parking lot gave me a nice feeling that my bike would be watched over in some minimum way.
