Anyone know the bicycle parking arrangements for this location?
Trying to decide which bike to bring (if I come).

Damn good question. At the Campaigns Night last year there was parking downstairs at the Melb Town Hall. Fire off a email or call BV and ask if similar arrangements are organised for the AGM. Ph: 8636 8888, Fax 8636 8800, Freecall 1800 639 634 (country callers) Email: [email hidden]

There's an underground car park around that area, ped exit comes up next
to Starbucks, which has quite a bit of bicycle parking. Probably not
enough though.

BV says: Unfortunately there will be no special arrangements for
the BV AGM. You would need to contact Melbourne Town Hall to
find out what facilities are available. There are plenty of rails nearby.

Melbourne Town Hall says that there are two lots of bicycle
hoops on Swanston St, the northern ones under a big tree.
The city square (to the south) has an underground car park
accessed from Flinders Lane which she believes to have some
bike parking. This is probably the one Euan mentioned.

So, either BV isn't expecting people to attend, or BV is not made up of people who ride bikes as a form of transport...
