Paid bicycle parking

[ColinJ]

How about something like the Tokyo Bicycle Parking Facility!

Here's a secure bike park in Delft. 50c a day, manned parking. You get a ticket, the other half of which is tagged on your bike and he collects it for you when you present your ticket.

Other options for residents only.

Unfortunately, my knowledge on these matters is restricted to my home, the Capital. Although, should ou ever find yourself here on business, you can find secure bike parking at the following locations:

• London Bridge
• Finsbury Park

ohh!! I never knew that. When I'm back in Norwich I will go see what it is like! Should be good, as I really want to cycle to Sainsburys and that is only a minute or two away Thank you!!!!

Most welcome!

Most welcome!

Have you used them? I can't find any photos or other information on them which is a shame. I've seen where they are on the map.

Wish I'd made this thread 3 months ago Oh well, another year and a half (at least) to enjoy them.

No, I've not used them, and not seen up close. Where they are are at the main bus station. Across the road from the cafe part & bus stands is a YMCA/YWCA? and just to the left of that is a big sign donating the secure bike parking to the left.

Yep, I saw where they were on the map. Oh well, I'm back around the 9th Jan so will check it out then. I'll take my helmet camera so I can take a video/show some photos

Hopefully I will have to register or something for a code...rather than just bike parking behind a wall

There are some pay-for lockers in one of the two underground bike parks in Cambridge. Jesus Lane.

Like Leicestr Bike Park you mean?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leicester_Bike_Park

I found the prices for that (£1 a day, longer period tickets available).

"The Bike Park has space for 120 bikes and is Britain's largest secure bike parking facility."

I'd certainly be prepared to pay at the station when I'm using the train, or for overnight near home if I didn't have my own.

As for shopping - I'm prepared to rely on a good lock and a loud alarm.

"The Bike Park has space for 120 bikes and is Britain's largest secure bike parking facility."

And is soon to be expanded. Plus there's talk of two more, smaller ones, opening too.

the good thing about the bike park is that you can pop back and leave a full pannier there and carry on shopping, or leave all you wet weather gear on the bike knowing it'll be there when you return.

Also, they'll dry stuff off for you if it's raining!

GBH cycles in manchester- 0161 831 9339- will put your bike in thier cellar for the day for a very, very reasonable cost. Unfortunately it's only open from 10am so it's just for shoppers really.

The London Bridge bike park sounds good.....

Scotrail have them as well. about 3 or 4 at my local station. I don't think you have to pay for them.

Just noticed these at Larbert Station, near Falkirk. Likewise - don't know if you have to pay....good idea none the less?
