I was running a bit late this morning and didn't have time to risk going to the new racks to find out they weren't open yet so I just stuck the bike on the old ones (the fact they were quieter was a clue I suppose).</p> <p>12 new racks vs. six old ones. That should be enough space on most days assuming the motorbikes stay clear. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2262#post-23946 Mon, 14 Feb 2011 15:26:20 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 23946@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>While having a coffee this lunchtime with chdot he noticed that the new Haymarket bike racks had been installed, so we went for a gander (seriously, how bike geeky <em>are</em> we???)</p> <p>These are the old racks, still with quite a lot of bikes attached - some imaginatively.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/5444692813/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4078/5444692813_deb15b6844.jpg"></a></p> <p>Whereas these are the new (sort of) covered racks.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/5445293950/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5172/5445293950_c60d957a36.jpg"></a></p> <p>The space in between the racks is good (as proven by the Vespa) but it still all feels a bit half-hearted. The 'roof' leaves the back part completely open (that wall is only providing a partial cover). Why not extend the clear covering down the back and at the sides as well?</p> <p>Still, good to see new racks in, so shouldn't complain really. </p>
