Very Impressive but expensive - at Dapto railway station they can't
fill the bike boxes (last time I checked 2 were hired out)

Mind you if we had a Mayor like Ken Livingston and a traffic problem
like London I guess it might happen.

Locally, these were installed where the demand wasn't and they are
expensive; priced for the latex/spandex caffee-latte crowd. People
here just ride basic bikes to and from the railway station that cost less
that the deposit.

Oh and our bicycle lanes are actually the car parking lane.
