[Image taken 15.9.22] Biba House, 16 St Saviour's Place, York YO1 7PJ. The entrance to the car- and cycle-parking for this residential development is on Aldwark. This means the cycle parking is visible to a great many people. Which must make it vulnerable. And what do people see? Wheelbenders. And the usual problem… If you can only attach a wheel to an immovable object, you lose the cycle. If you attach the cycle but do not secure the wheels, you lose the latter. It is curious that there is a wheel without a cycle and a cycle without a wheel. Perhaps there is another explanation. In 2021, I did try to find a contact for the development owners to ask if I could discuss the cycle parking with them. It came to nothing. I’ll try again now it looks as if a resident's or two residents' cycles have been vandalised. Location of this property and parking: #186186.
