omg- so much controversy over bike stands- didnt know there were so many cycling enthusiasts in haringey- do come to the haringey lcc social in the new year
personally i like them, they are big enough to be solid, no more hard edges to scratch my bike and not nearly as ugly and solid as many bike stands are- never seen anyone able to break through a bike stand- its always stronger than any lock
But my only criticism is that its a shame they couldnt be more spread out with say i or 2 at bottom of every road rather than clusters every few roads- now so many railings have been taken down, unfortunately have to use bike stands to get my d lock through but dont see the point of walking 2-3 streets to find one- misses the point of cycling in the first place
otherwise good job, thanks Adam and all those otherwise involved
Apologies if I've missed something earlier, but this all seems so bizarre. There are literally dozens of manufacturers who will sell you, off-the-shelf, a stainless steel Sheffield stand with a tap plate.
e.g. http://www.marshalls.co.uk/commercial/street-furniture/products/oll...
There are a couple of these in Wood Green High Road, opposite Sainsbury's. (With yellow hi-vis bands on the sides, too, though these could do with replacing.)
Doesn't this solve the aesthetic 'problem' and the quality problem?
I've just walked past the replacement stands, and they're so obviously set at the wrong angle, as were the originals, that they're bound to be replaced before long. Can we just get this right to begin with?
Aidan thanks for the link. Can't see much wrong with those simple, straightforward designs. Although it doesn't seem necessary in Marshalls' photo, I note the stands are mounted in diagonal plan. When stands are erected along pavements, this ought to be norm. Sometimes this simple, basic factor is got right. Note the placing of the row of stands near Lidl's Finsbury Park (Seven Sisters Road, opposite Blackstock Road).
