Bike Racks

I have recently bought a bike to get myself around town but finding it hard to find bike racks to leave it. I have a chain but it is not all that sturdy so do not really want to just leave it attached to a lampost if possible. So far I've found Tesco the best place as they have a number of racks and it's sheltered, however if I am going to the other side of town this is not always convenient. Can anyone recommend anywhere? I think it would be good if public car parks had some available. Although they may already exist and I have not yet found them!

Hertford North station has a bike rack. And I believe there is also one by Hartham Pool and by Canons Gym although I think these may be for use by the patrons of those establishments only.

Outside the Halifax and the court there are some bike racks, this is where we always put our bikes when we cycle in to town. Although it is not sheltered there.

Thanks for all these, it will make it a lot easier than using Tesco all the time.

I'd get a more secure chain though (unless you have a low-value bike). I know someone who had his bike nicked from outside the courts.
