Update on Bike parks in Wgtn City problem

[Lord Derosso]

Footpaths in Wellington are subject to the strictest of conventions regarding their use. The "keep left" rule is zealously enforced. Meandering shoppers, tourists and unsupervised children are routinely trampled underfoot by hoards of commuting civil servants. Welcome to Wellington. Keep left at all times or face the consequences.

Damn right you are about that !!. You soon learn this little rule at lunchtimes on Lambton Quay. Regarding that park outside the fish shop. I have seen the owner of the shop come out and hassle some riders because the exhaust goes into the fish shop when they rev up. For once , I am on their side so perhaps the park needs to be relocated nearer the pub, north about 30 feet?

Good stuff but its 2 1/2 years out of date.

Remember its the petrol crisis and other factors that have resulted in a huge increase of riders and demand for parks in the last 6 months really. Time to renew the cause.

There's one on Thorndon Quay next to ECC (across from Freedom Furniture) Not a good place for it - very exposed and definitely a hazardous spot when there are functions (often) at the Marae.

I parked there for 2+ years and didn't have any problems...apart from the time a chevy van backed over my FZR 750.

I've used quite a few of the bike parks around Welly over the years and the only one that worries me is the one in Grey St. Its congested at the best of times, some Psycho keeps moving bikes and couriers get really close to bikes when they turn around.

Most of the spots are pretty good and its great that nude and lord d are actually doing something on our behalf. We need more parking.

Gee. Haven't you guts sorted that twit out yet? That is one really bad park. Always packed.

Is that the one right on the corner of Grey Street and Featherston Street?
If so, yes it does seems to be overpacked, I'll notify Stuart that this one is a particular problem.

Nothings really changed except there's a shitload more parking in the Civic at the moment.
