hmmm... was supposed to quote 'dirkbag' relating to the post above...
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?

I was in New York this summer and experienced a valet bike parking system at a flea market (see this: http://www.brownstoner.com/brooklynflea/2008/07/introducingbike_valet_at_the_f.html) which was completely free - not sure how they funded it... It was set up by Transportation Alternatives you can also read about the Great Bike Valet Experiment they did. Perhaps you could set up a service for event organizers, such as the people who run broadway market (whoever that is), and get them to pay you to offer a free service?
arrgh - dirkbang - sorry!
