Cry for Sympathy...

I've spent the last few years trying to persuade my colleagues at work to cycle in. I've done really well but this has created a major problem. From having a 10 space bike shed all to myself I now have to share it. Today I was lucky to even get a space. I know I'll get little sympathy from those of you without dedicated cycle parking but it is really hard going from my own 'private' bike parking after 8 years to having to share :evil:

    Firstly, well done on your efforts. Secondly, don't ask the powers that be for better/expanded facilities or they will think you're being bolshy.
    To err is human, but to make a real balls up takes a super computer.

    Well done on getting them all cycling!

    If they keep it up, then it's time to talk to your employer and look at expanding the cycling facilities you have etc.1
    Stuff about riding a bike a long way

    Mine lives under the fire escape so it stays dry but bikes litter the office walls all over the place because there is no proper facility.

    I told my boss that if I ever get an expensive bike it's coming in my office with me. He agreed that it was a good idea. :D

    See how many keep it up in the cold dark wet winter. I guess you'll soon have the pick of spaces again.

    Well done indeed! :D

    I don't have to worry about that sort of thing as I have:

    a) A master key for work so I can put my bike anywhere,

    and

    b) led a campaign to rid the bike stand of 'stored bikes'. The skip arrives next week.... :D And one of the bike's belongs to high management..... :twisted:

    Numbers have been declining this week. Give it another 2 weeks and there will be only half the bikes at our place than there were in June/July/August...

    I can but hope, but the signs are not promising - I might have done too good a job... Let's hope we get some cold winds and rain soon to drive them off :twisted:
