Well we have seen those smart poles throughout the CBD with the bike rings on them – and slowly they are filling up with bikes. The problem being is that the smartpoles are not anywhere outside the CBD – well the council have come up with a unique solution. They are going to replace the existing street poles and put rings on them. Also for the rollout BikeSydney, Bikeast and MASSbug will be recommending where they are placed. Check out the photos below.

[...] Velo Sydney posts on some strange circles appearing in the city. Crop circles created by UK pranksters? Or [...]

I guess time well tell whether they’re smart enough to place them out of the way of opening car doors, reversing trucks etc.

DK, basically they replace the existing poll, so where ever there is a standard poll it will be replaced by this. BikeSydney and Bikeast will be locating the initial roll out locations.

Instead of ripping out the poles, why don’t u just retrofit them? Save costs and installation time. We’ve been doing this in London, UK with the Cyclehoop. Feel free to contact me for more information (www.cyclehoop.com)
