Ha - Good luck with that Slaytanic!
I was talking with friends today and I'm more in favour for providing safe, affordable bike parking for cyclists in popular, but crime-ridden areas of London.
Laura from the Bicycle Film Festival reckoned on doing a scheme similar to that during the BFF, where cyclists turn up to an event (or say Broadway Market on a Saturday.) , pay a quid or whatever and lock their bike up in a special area that could be patrolled by a couple of volunteers, feeling safe that some prick won't come along and hack their pride and joy off a fence in broad daylight in a busy area...
In fact - I'm going to go one step further and both of us are looking now into setting up said scheme with Hackney Council, perhaps some of you guys would be interested in participating further?
