    Could the Club install some Bike Rack / Shelter, with the cost of living this would save people a fortune….. just a thought.

    You can leave bikes at the cycle hub in the interchange access 7 days per week ok you have to walk from there but probably safer than cycling through traffic on match days

    Bikes must remained chained up until the last away fan has left, do not go down Beevor court.

    There’s a bike rack at wombwell station. Looks like an expensive bit of kit…. Never seen a bike on it.

    Back in the 1960s you could leave your bike in the back yard of the house at the bottom of the car park behind where the burger van is now. Old lady ran the operation and probably secured the bikes as well. No idea what she charged

    You don't look at the rack when you're down courting the beaver.

    When I cycle to Oakwell, I chain it to the fence at the side of the car park. Not ideal but so far I've never seen anyone else on a bike so I guess there's not a lot of demand. Maybe decent facilities might encourage some cycling, Oakwell is very handily placed for the cycle route that links with the TPT near Stairfoot.

    What’s to fund? A solid bike rack? No more than 2k. Lessens parking issues & encourages the fit Reds idea of yore.? Bikes left at owners risk? Same as anywhere else?I won’t be using it but.. It’s a great idea..:)
