Parking for your bike and board

This is a parking area in front of some shops that contain a convenience market and a laundromat.  This little street scene reflects that Tamarindo is a popular town for surfing.  At the little bicycle rack in front of the shops people have parked not only their bicycles, but their surfboards as well.

It is not unusual to see surfboards in Tamarindo, as there are a lot of people who walk around town with their surfboards on their way to and from the beach.  If a store wants to get drop in traffic from surfers, why not provide a little parking area for surfers, bicycles, and surfers on bicycles?  

It must be a little tricky to ride a bicycle while carrying a surfboard, however.  When I was in junior high school in St. Louis County, Missouri, I used to ride to school on my bicycle while carrying a trombone in its case in one arm.  A surfboard is a lot bigger than a trombone case, however, and it does not have a handle.  But, I guess if someone is agile enough to surf and ride the waves, they have the coordination to be able to ride a bicycle while carrying a surfboard.
