I was invited to take part in a programme for BBC Radio 1 (2330 22 AUG 05)
and had to visit our brand spanking new BBC HQ in the centre of Hull to be
interviewed today. I did a reccy on Sunday to see what bike parking
facilities they had as I planned to cycle there after work.
Nothing was evident, so I decided to use the Sheffield Stands in the city
centre, leave the best bike at home and go back into town on the winter
bike. Talking to the chap who set up the ISDN to London, I asked where the
secure bike parking was. He replied that it was the poles outside and that
they were supposed to be getting some proper stands but the budget didn't
run to them.
Needless to say, there was a big underground car park with a pass operated
barrier and security guard. At least this anti-cycling policy isn't confined
to my own place of work!
