I really don't see an issue. In my opinion, there's still work to be done here, but there's nothing fundamentally wrong with this design.

The bike would be too inclined and the handle bar would get in the way of the second function, wich is the "bench". And if you think about it, a few people would sit in such a uncomfortable seat, and the opportunity to park two bikes and save space would be lost. The issue is the height, for a starter.

The user on this is pretty much anyone and everyone, from any and all backgrounds. Unlike many other products, there are no instructions of use therefore it should be as intuitive to use as possible. True people do perch, sit and swing like apes on pretty much anything, but that’s at their risk. if you install a product that could lead to an injury you will be liable. hence in the uk street furnishings play safe. I myself have attempted to morph benches with bike racks with lean to seating with limited success.

As one solution to the situation, we put up P+bike system. The examination of preexisiting bike racks in the streets of Korea reveals that there're too many of them left uncared for, broken and bikes thrown away. To overhaul these problems, the new design of signpost, bicycle rack and bench came about in an attempt to elevate the value of environement not only on keeping but riding a bike through instilling in the public the idea of a bike being an important transportation option and their personal property as well.

If I'm not mistaken, you're supposed to just lean your bike against the bench. There isn’t a slot to stick the wheel into.
