Well, there’s three bikes in this picture and only one car. The car is taking up more space than all of the bikes. Simple solution: get rid of that car parking spot and turn it into bike parking. Now more people can visit the businesses!
But that’s not how it’s currently set up, both cars and bikes can coexist. These bikes shouldn’t be parked there just like cars shouldn’t go into the sidewalk.
There are multiple additional parking spaced behind the car. Replacing one spot with bike parking still allows both modes to visit the shop but provides an increased number of visitor spaces.
The car also has a Dutch license plate. While I am generally a big proponent of bike friendly infrastructure, even at the expense of car amenities, the Dutch of all the people don’t need any more prodding in that direction.
The problem is not lack of bike parking, we have plenty of that in the Netherlands 😊 We’re just sort of spoiled and like to park our bike right at the place we need to be. If you do that normally it usually isn’t a problem.

They certainly do. There’s still wayyyy too many people driving everywhere, with just one person per car.
