A lot of bikes have apparently been stolen recently from that bike room (bit of a failure for a $53 million facility). CCTV was eventually checked by police but they couldn’t identify the person from it. My work doesn’t allow bikes inside (no room). Yeah I will definitely get a better bike lock but i’m not to keen on leaving it in the bus exchange again.

I’m surprised about it getting stolen from the Bus Interchange considering they have CCTV cameras in there too; did you see whether the interchange staff could help with enquiries? There are plenty of good secure workplace bike parking areas in some of the new buildings, but we haven’t yet got other general “lockup” options for public bike parking. So it really comes down to having a good lock or two (my definition of “good” is that it is better than other nearby bikes, thus making your bike less attractive to steal…)

The parks have no shelter.
There is basically only 4 parks and then it becomes a problem again to lock a bike.
There is no signage pointing to further (closest) parking for bikes if these are full.
If they were trying to be helpful they could put a scanable code on the bike parking to show a map of other parking places for bikes (as shown by Nick)
They could also add signage to inform where the lockable bike parking is but never seem interested to do this.
Meanwhile – on another part of the city – the CCC wants to spend over $1Mil for car parking???
