i used to work at starbucks and I biked there everyday, until that is my bike and I were derailed. it was under condos and the bike rack was in the back next to the parking places. barring all else I have no qualms about locking my bike up to a parking meter, sign, etc. I don't lock my bike up to trees because 1. they are usually to big, 2. I think it is bad for the trees, 3. if the tree is too big it will be bad when I rough up the bark because I am trying in vain to lock my bike to it.

We don't have many places in town here to lock our bikes on the street- no parking signs or meters, etc...
We lock to small trees frequently, and are careful not to hurt them. Gotta watch out for people walking their dogs though.
That sure hurts the trees more than we do.
