If you get on your bike in the morning to get to the station to catch a train to work, break out the bubbly.
Up to 30 secure bike spaces will be installed at Liverpool Station later this year as part of a state government project called “bike and ride’’.
Member for Holsworthy Melanie Gibbons says this is a big win for Liverpool cyclists who use their bikes to get to the station.
Bike sheds providing secure spaces will be installed at more than 40 train stations and transport interchanges around Sydney and surrounding regions.
Ms Gibbons said a tender will soon be released for the first nine locations which were selected based on demand and patronage at these locations.
“At Liverpool Station, a bike shed with 30 spaces will be made available for customers,” Ms Gibbons said.
“We will ensure the shed is located in a convenient location.
“Installation of the bike shed at Liverpool Station is expected to start later this year.’’
[social_quote duplicate=”no” align=”default”]“These bike sheds will be a great facility for cyclists, particularly those who catch public transport as part of their daily commute.[/social_quote]
“Use of the bike sheds will be free for cyclists. They can now be confident that they are leaving their bicycles safe and secure while catching public transport.
“These facilities are being delivered as part of the Bike and Ride initiative, which is identified in Sydney’s Cycling Future, Transport for NSW’s plan to make bicycle riding a feasible transport option,” Ms Gibbons said.
