Commuting in Perth
Heard today that a new office building (Woodside) in Perth will have 200
bike racks, the same number as the car parking spaces in the building. Suggests that commuting by bike may be much bigger in the west than back east. Can anyone from the Western Division of aus.bicycle confirm if that is the case? - would be an interesting and good development in our town planning 'fitwere true. best, Andrew |

I think that woodside were doing a deal where they bought some staff cycles and they were allowed to keep them if they did a certain mileage on them per month or whatever. till |

The present Woodside building has 25-30 racks which, when I worked there, were always maxxed out. They also have good shower facilities and lockers, an added bonus. A number of city buildings have lockup storage facilities and showers for a nominal fee to their staff. Lyn |

the cynic in me says they've done a deal which involves fewer parking spaces
and therefore greatly reduces the cost of the building, or gets them out of a particular planning requirement... however, good on them anyway. "Andrew Price" wrote in message ...
