I might be missing something here.  0.7m is awful short for a standard
bike.  Granted, my bike is on the large side for a standard bike (at 6'2"
(1.88m) in length, it's just 4" short of the maximum length allowed on the
vast majority of transit systems (6'6" or 1.98m).  City of Portland (and
likely soon, USDOT) consider a single bicycle parking space as minimum
3'x6' (though I'd really prefer it, and wouldn't be surprised, if they
bumped that up to 7' or 8' just to be consistent with 6'6" being a popular
maxlength requirement and provide for a little extra clearance given
inconsistencies with locking strategies between riders).
