In reply to Jan Jakob. Because these pods can potentially go in on-street carpark spaces, I guess the barriers are there to prevent cars running over bikes parked close to the ends? At the Riverside location, not much of an issue, but in some other places you'll want the protection from people reversing into parallel parks and such like.

Have used them a couple of times, the good design which provides lots of locking options is much appreciated. Time to replace those non-functional hideous shiny semi circles that popped up everywhere during the rebuild.

some bike shops have laughably bad bike racks, torpedo 7 chch springs to mind a hideous low wheel stand that is wonky and next to useless I told the manager it was an embarrassment but it didnt sink in.

These are by far the best bike stands I have seen (Not just in NZ). Plenty of options to secure frame and wheels to the stands, no wheel-bending/disk-brake issues, and enough room for a cargo bike or trailer. The outside yellow barriers seem like a bit of wasted space (why are those not regular stands as well?) but a far superior design to the ones found in the Lichfield park, bus stop, or the semi-circles around town (or those sad wheel stands found around town in front of businesses).
