I would rearly love to see this sort of thing more often. Sadly businesses and organisations spend tens of thousands on each car parking bay, yet ask them to spend a tenner improving cycle provision...
My last posting before I left the dibble was a new purpose built building. Sadly the powers that be decided that penny pinching was more important than following their own crime prevention advice and they fitted inadequate racks and did so in an area with no natural surveillance. Unsurprisingly several bikes were piched and staff were reluctant to use them again, and the eejuts in charge took this under utilisation as an indication of unwillingness for staff to cycle to work and in turn used that as justification to spend even less at the next building. You couldn't make it up.
But I'm preaching to the choir here.
PS - the original photo is an obvious photoshop. The guy with the bike has trainers on but SLs on the bike, and the one legged lass is stretching to go for a run.
