Cycle-in workplace

Way of the future of a gimmick?

I particulary like our man Dougal Shaw with his jaunty angle helmet

Haven't many offices got basements with ramps? Or is it the fact that you cycle into a door first?

I never used the one in our main building as I'd heard the ceiling height at the end of the ramp was a little low.

Nice idea, but once it's only being used by one hipster twice a month, it'll be binned. New generation of workers, my arse. Shirkers, more like ☺Christ, I'm turning into an old curmudgeon. ☺

They've developed a way of getting bikes downstairs. But not back up again. Wow. I'll stick with my ground level cycle parking thanks. I can stand the 30s walk to the door of the building.

Is it very different to the ramped bridges over motorways for example? The only thing I didn't like about the video is that the surface looked a little shiny.

Other than going back up the ramp you mean?

Which, as demonstrated in the video, is too steep to comfortably ride up, and also looks too narrow for two bikes to comfortably pass.
