Lockers of gold?

…and a clean bathroom isn’t?
Cleaning costs are usually covered in lease arrangements. You can’t justify charging the staff for this service, let alone some staff, but not others. What’s next? The cost of air conditioning and electricity?

$250 for a bike locker I could understand, but at those dimensions it’s clear that mp2615 is talking about a regular change room locker.

fair enough, i skim read the dimensions.

So you’d be perfectly happy to pay to use the toilet at work then?

” $250 + GST per annum ”
it is also illegal for them to advertise a non GST inclusive price.
They have to show the full GST inclusive price or show how much the GST component is

Rent a car space and set up a competing locker business 🙂

What bikes are you guys riding that are going to fit into a 72? x 12? x 20? enclosed space?

This has nothing to do with covering the cost of the locker rooms, in fact they rarely even clean the locker rooms. This cost is already included in the lease. This is not being done to provide extra service, it is just taking advantage of a loophole/oversight in the leases to take back what was already given and scrape more money from tenants. We don’t have to pay for a locker to use the locker rooms and showers. We will just move to leaving bags sitting on top of the empty lockers.

I kinda like the glue idea…

wait, this is during work hours? just buy a d lock and a cable lock – and lock it outside. Use the D lock to attach the frame to the pole, and the cable lock for the accessories/wheels. Hardly any bikes are stolen during daylight hours, let alone with 2 locks on them.

If you want to use the shower there, just leave a towel at work, problem solved.

But yeah chupachup is right, its $1/day, which is pretty convenient if you’re having a shower + dont want your bike scratched up.

Double lock your bike outside if you’re worried. Its cheap insurance for the ratbags who might just walk onto the next lowly cable locked one.

I believe mp2615 is referring to equipment lockers, not a locker to keep a bike in.

Sounds good to me; it’d discourage locker hogs – bastards. I hear the price mechanism is good for that sort of thing. (Speaking as someone who be happy to pay $250 to get a locker.)

No you wouldn’t.

I do hate the fact that of the 40 or so lockers in our change room, only about 6 are in regular use. I often wonder how many genuine users are missing out because of greedy muppets.

My guess is the cost covers the change rooms/hot water costs/cleaning etc. which in the scheme of things isnt that expensive.
