Bike parks in Wellington Central

[kiwisfly]

Yeh I know the feeling. Had to bring the bike in earlier in the week and leave at 3 pm. Some bikes are just too close. Theres just too many riders using t6he parks now so hence the thread. I have been trying to see if the WCC would use all that space on the southern end of the library just for scooters and saw someone has been parking theirs during the week so perhaps they might get the hint.

Thanks dude!

Yeah the parking at the southern end of town is crap! My office is on Brandon St and unless I want to get to work at 7am and leave at 5.30pm its impossible to either get in or get out!

I park in tepapa carpark. just as you take a ticket from the box you ride up & to the right. on the way out you just get the thumbs up & they lift the barrier up for you. yup free bike parking at tepapa & it's undercover. You don't actually have to go near the ticket box on the way out as you can ride straight out around it hehehe. But shhhhh don't want it to get 2 full hehehe

Well, just finished riding back up from Wellywood to Dorkland - the three days I've been back in my old stomping grounds has been awesome. Just rode the bike basically everywhere after the KB ride on Sunday.

Parking in the capital is ... easy! I noticed bikes parked free and easy over most places and yesterday, I couldn't be bothered parking further away from Reading Cinemas (Tallageda... ) and saw some other bikers had stashed their rides next to the phone boxes/trees on Courtney Pl. Decided to do the same, several hours later - no worries! Gotta love a city thats so bike friendly!

Shoulda read this thread before I left, so I wouldn't have to ride around looking for the bike parking places

Alrighties.....latest from WCC on bike parks....

I have in my hot little hands a copy of the (the latest) "Report of All 'No Stopping Except for Motorcycles' Resolutions in Wellington City".
Basically this is a report of each bike park, where it is, how big and when last updated. Very interesting

Do you all want me to PDF this and attach here or should I just email to those who want a copy?

Also an idea our Traffic Manager came up with is to put a map on the WCC website marking where all the bike parks are. What do you reckon about this?

Cheers,

The only place I park in wellington is outside Wellington Motorcycles. I don't really get into looking around anywhere else.( only shop with Harleys.) I have had to park on the footpath a couple of times, but hey, where else is there?
