Secure bike park

joined a secure bike parking facility this week

bikepark

a great idea and good value

$25 for the swipe card then $2 for 12 hours.

showers extra.

unfortunately the calibre of bikes there was underwhelming.

Terk, Ginat, Medria, Sttoc, 

there was a fancy Italian-sounding brand there but it was crabon 

and was wearing a g-string

ugh

not a single bike I would cross the street for

let alone try and pick the D-lock of

in fact, I saw a lot more desirable and rare bikes chained up in the street that day—

e.g Batavus racer with Campagnolo Gran Sport groupset—

than I saw in the "vault"

makes you wonder about the clientele

true early adopters?

needlessly paranoid?

tight-arsed rich?

I think I fall into group B.

Gary was the prettiest one there, by far.

he was about the only steel frame bike anyway.
