@kirk As a North American who lives in a city with only a handful of bike lanes ... this makes me borderline weepy.

@st3phvee oh I totally get the feeling grew up in one of those cities

@kirk I don't know why we're so backwards. We're lucky to even have sidewalks in some areas. God forbid the truck nuts can't hog the entire road with their lifted F150s...

@st3phvee the worst is when places install cycle/pedestrian infrastructure and then rip it out months later cause drivers complain/they can't drive properly and keep running into the barriers...

@kirk I’m retired now but I used a similar bike locker in Denver Colorado at a light rail station for many years. It worked quite well.

As far as homeless people sleeping in the lockers it happened occasionally but didn’t seem to be a deal breaker. The transit agency required users to sign an agreement and use locks provided by the agency, so the only time a locker was unsecured was in between leases.
