brilliant way to use a car spot
 

Just seen a brilliant invention by Swiss designer - Adrien Rovero.

A car-shaped bike rack, occupying a single car parking space, that
houses six bicycles.

Aces - bring more of it on!

gutter side, otherwise bikes could get cleaned up fairly easily

And types where the bike is not supported in two places (as recommended for
bicycle parking) means that some drunked lout will just bend all the front
wheels like bananas anyway!
But the concept is good :-)

So extend bits from the car shape, so bikes can be leant against it.


Maybe a set of little car shapes at 90deg to the big one....

Boorondara Council will probably leave a parking ticket on it.

I have a car parking bay under our offices. I suggested turning it
into bike parking. Refused. I can leave it vacant or put a car in it.
Someone suggested buying an old Hi Ace or similar van, parking it and
putting bikes in the back.The car shaped bike rack looks like another
option. It will probably take the building management people 6 months
to work out it's not a car. hehehe

Wonderful! Haha!
....or an old dunger that everyone can lean their bikes on and lock them
to the bumpers and door handles. So old that the bumper bar is detached
(not moulded), for more lock points. Maybe a Morrie 1100.

That'd make them little motorbikes ;-)

What you need is an inflatable car with room inside to park your bike
in. When you're finished, deflate it, fold it up and ride away.
