Any safe bike storage in City (Melbourne)

[AntCap]

Hi All,
I have been searching for a safe place to leave my bike when riding into the city but have not been able to find anything that I am comfortable leaving my expensive bike in.

I have seen the Parkiteer storage available and it's a joke. Theives have gotten used to scouring these storage places in search for expensive bikes they can steal.

Melbourne is supposed to be the most liveable city in the world but we are so far behind the rest of the world when it comes to safe bike storage in the Melbourne CBD.

Does anyone know if these bike storage facilities will ever be availabe in Melbourne as I would definetly use them.

- E-Charging options available

- Language selection
Take a look at the video of one of their units in operation:

Business opportunity?

Hi there,

Does anybody know in what year Speedwell (which I think was sold to Malvern Star in 1965) stopped manufacturing in Australia and if they continued at all overseas or was it never manufactured overseas? Also, does anybody know anything about the ladies Speedwell bike model 'vogue'? I have not been able to find any literature on it at all.

Thank you.
