Fit the bikes with GPS linked to remote controlled bottom bracket immobilisers? Make them so bog ugly that no one would want to nick one from the CBD area? I agree. 99% of people living or visiting the CBD already own bikes s would only affect tourists who love the trams more anyway.. The copenhagen ones are fitted with GP Their examples are so distinctive it would be hard to get away wit nicking them I do think the City council could probably spend the mone better by bettering existing cicling facilities. IE proper ways for yo to enter the CBD (far too many directions have no safe entry path). mor bike lanes, parking facilities and (dream-of-dream) an extra carriage o all trains to carry bikes! Folding bike sales have apparently jumped 20+% since the congestion tol was introduced in London. Cycling has increased by 30%!! - |

I was checking one out in Lorimer St early Friday evening. *ahem* Got an idea with the BMX.....long head stem, long seat post, 170mm cranks, hub gears, angle grinder, spare hinge hasps.

It's slippery, it floods easily, my ex flatmate used to drive his Mondeo up and down that stretch (there was just enough clearence in the underpasses to avoid scratching his side mirrors), but yeah, it exists.. and a really useful path at O6 Those who use it know to shortcut off it near the far right and cut across to Royal Parade.. is Melb city council behind critical mass Nope.. Critical Mass in Melbourne is sponsored by GenericSnackFoods(tm).. PC |
