They'll spend tens of thousands of public money (much of it subsidised by taxpayers that do not themselves own a car) on the land, planning, building, and materials for every single parking space, and only 12 pence a time on the s**ttyiest, cheapest, nastiest, most inappropriate cycle parking provision.

They enjoy the race to the bottom so much they positively relish having to spend public money doing it all over again.

Norwich library, during construction installed some very nice polished stainless steel racks, properly embeded, and heavily used.
For no apparent reason they dug them up and replaced with rough galvanized steel with plastic wheel traps that gather trash. The main selling point of this type were that no groundworks were required.

Sainsbury supermarket had some quite nice Sheffield racks, well spaced to just accomodate 2 bikes with full panniers. So much space that they were able to add additional wheel trap parking between adjacent Sheffield racks, ie not enough room for 3 bikes.

Yes all very interesting, but what do you think about the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre?

I saw an articel in a local paper a while ago with a picture of a cycle rak hoop with a section cut out
apparently 2 bikes had been taken - Sold Secure Gold/Diamond ain;t a load of use if the hoop can be cut in 10 seconds!

actually saw an advert for a bike (copied off a well known site) which still had a u-lock dangling from the crossbar!

@Cycleops How's the cycling infrastructure going in Ghana ? It's certainly crap in the UK, but got to be worse there ! You never really comment on it.
