IT’S TRUE!

Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
resolvedHello,
I've searched and not found much helpfull on here so....
What is the cycle parking like at the new Little France Infirmary? I'll take a D lock and a cable but is there any/many/lots near to the main entrances? Anywhere where you'd recomend I not park? I'm off to OPD4.
Cheers, Dave C
Only racks I ever used were outside Simpsons and a couple of them weren't very well bolted down, I think there are some round the back.
Min's your lady for parking out there though.
There are racks near the front door (which may now be the back door, but the entrance where the buses used go to, the one on the west side of the building anyway) along one side of the building, or there where when I last cycled up and that was 2.5 years ago now, and that part may have been encroached on by the works for the new Sick Kids...
Edit - streetview shows a few of them are still there; https://goo.gl/maps/NeQ5YfyQi952
Coolio. I have had a look at Google Street view, and hopefully there will be something to nail my bike to.
I just wondered if there were 'Cycle Parks', somewhere central which is where everyone parked their bikes, like this:

(A little optomistic I'm sure!)
Well it took them only 13 years to build the cycle path to the place. Maybe will get that in another 13 years.
This is the main cycle parking, mapped as 80 spaces... and every time i've used it it's been chocka:

And it's looking awfy private / staff only now...
The racks at the East entrance are going to be more convenient probably.
Sorry, only just seen this. There is masses of parking so you shouldn't have any bother.
The ones Kaputnik posted are still there, there are others through the Doors of Terror but good luck getting your bike/self through those without getting minced up into tiny pieces!
There are also a load more along the sides of the building at what is now the main entrance on the other side.
The one Wangi posted is staff parking for the Uni and always has been.
Doors of Terror
Is that A&E? ;-)
I've always used the bike racks between the Simpson Centre and The Chancellor's Building, though I suppose there are many others.
Is that A&E? ;-)
No, the ones you can see in Kappers link. Will they start spinning when you try to walk through the inviting gap them? Will they stop suddenly leaving you trapped halfway round and feeling like a pillock? You'd think as a species we'd have mastered how to build a door but not there.
Right, I'll try the spaces between The Chancellor's Building and Simpson's Centre. Failing that I'll go round the back and tuck it under the eaves where the staples are.
Cheers, Dave C
