Bicycle Parking Forms Walkway
Bicycles are parked in a way which creates a path of least distance from the exit of the train station to the nearest convenience store. I imagine that one reason for this courtesy is to try to stave off retribution for parking in a no parking zone – another may be the subconscious adherence to the paved markings in front of the shop (a very subtle but effective form of control).

Lines on pavement are effective and unobtrusive. The prudent shop owners in my neighborhood that have space for bicycles have lines on the pavement that most people adhere to. It is somewhat haphazard but it works…more or less.
