This is a great idea…
The idea of leaving the car at home and using a bike to get to and from work is pretty appealing, but still not many people do it. These guys appear to have solved most of the associated problems, by providing somewhere safe and secure to keep your bike during the day, some showers (for the sweaty ones amongst us), a locker for your riding gear, a place to grab a bite to eat, and even a service area for any urgent bike repairs (and if they can’t fix your problem they’ll lend you a bike to use to get home).
Unfortunately it’s only in Auckland at this stage. Hopefully their global domination plans include Wellington in the not too distant future!
That’s actually very cool. I’d use it, if I didn’t already live in the city.
But one minor quibble…. the opening hours. 7am to 7pm? I’m lucky if I finish work at 8pm! To use this, I’d have to get there at 6:30 to get changed etc. The petition for longer opening hours starts in 3…2…1…
