I wonder if they would charge a $50 fee like they do at car parks when you have to get let out after hours? "O

Email Jim.. his details are listed on page 1,Becker_11 wrote:1 question that I have regarding these rooms and the smart rider access is what happens if you lose your wallet or it gets stolen? Is there going to be a 24hr hotline number similar to the multi story car parks in the city where someone will come out and let you get your bike out?

Stirling Station - cage build - not automated
Greenwood Station - two cages build - neither automated
I like the idea of the cages, in particular as I can't get my bike into several of the lockers due to bullhorns:

Horrible tire racks as well. I hate those things.rolandp wrote:Greenwood Station - two cages build - neither automated

More of an issue if you want to securely lock your bike with a U-Lock. Damage from the bike falling over or being knocked over is another factor.jet-ski wrote:I use those at work every day and am yet to have any issues. In fact only the front wheel on my commuter is showing signs of a wobble, and that never goes in to those racks
They only put them in because they are cheap and removable.

It is a similar sort of rack but they have the lower diagonal wheel cage and then a higher sort of stretched P type support rail which would be at waist height at the top and the lower rail is about right height to rest a pedal on which enables the bike to stand on a slight lean. ( I did think about taking a picture today and didnt follow through - will see if can get one tommorrow).
I havent found them to be a problem, though it is of course not a public place and most of the drivers who ride, do have an appreciation for each others property and nice bikes!

Glad to see they have already thought of the possibility and have put measures in place to ensure you wont have a long walk home.Nathaniel, first...don’t lose your wallet...station staff have access with a contact phone number on each shelter.
You will have to unlock your bike from the shelter in the presence of one of the staff members.
No charge will apply.
Please contact me direct on 9326 2383 for any further questions.
Btw. Thanks for your support!
Regards
Jim Krynen

Maybe these were a trial version they chose not to use. Anyway they seem to work okwagr1213 wrote:The PTA have provided us with a different version to that in our bike shed at work!

Even the top rail of the upright has padding, so been a bit of thought there!

Seems like the chaps (AT) the PTA are finally getting some luck.

more anti-bike intent as i see it.
ive also noticed a lot of selfish parents seem to think the pram symbol indicates the seats are for their hyperactive little toddler to sit in lieu of a paying adult.

Odd.
Can't wait for it to be finished and get all those ugly BSOs that are usually locked all over the place hidden away a bit
