To solve this problem, the Victorian Government had bike rails with chains and racks installed at train stations in early 2008, but people felt that this method didn’t adequately keep their bikes safe from the environment and potential thieves and continued carrying their bikes on the train. As such, anothe  ...read more

Australia’s population continues to rise. Estimates from the United Nations on Wednesday delivered us a number just short of 25 million people, revealing a solid increase of over 300,000 since last year. Our larger cities’ CBD’s and university campuses are certainly noticing the increase. It’s a good thing for both tourism and education that our hot spots are so active but it does raise some issues. Notably, the lack of space for securing of bikes. If there isn’t somewhere to safely chain up bikes people may stop riding them. Less pe  ...read more
