"How do you terror-proof a major public building without turning it into a fortress? Benches and water walls are in, bike racks could be out and those pretty shrubs... they'll need to be well pruned." (my bold)

You can get far more explosive into a car of a rucksack than you can into a bike frame, not that anyone has thought of using using either to commit a terrorist attack in this country.... where are bike bombs are used in all the attacks we have suffered since 1939
