I have long been the throne in the side of council and State Government when it comes to bicycle parking. One thing I hate is when new buildings are put in but no parking is provided this includes Rail and Busway Stations. The "Connecting SEQ 2031" document stats on page 52 that it is intended by 2031 an average of 250 bicycle parking spaces will be provided at each train station. This is a noble aim but one that is destined to fail as I highly doubt the Government would be willing to take away car spaces for Bicycles and there is the security factor. A solution is the automated underground bicycle parking station. This has been developed in Japan and could solve some of the problems in the fact that on could possible use there Go Card to swipe your bike in then swipe your bike out. While yes there are some problems with this idea I would have to say this is far better then a Bicycle cage where anyone can look at your bike and other users could nick off with the lights off your bike.
