Commuter Bikes

The bicycle racks at York Railway Station are often full but I have rarely seen them so full that some bikes had to be parked in the area but not in the rack. I walked down to check and there was no room, like at the inn!

Thanks to Lucy who suggested it would look better with a bit of cropping and in b&w - another Fisher collaboration.

Thought this was Cambridge when I first saw it! They've put double-decker racks in at the station there - though I think you must have to be pretty strong to get your bike up on the top rack!

Looks great in b&w

[Judith Johnson]

Looks amazing in B&W!

Great shots of the bikes, and capture of the bikes.
We can do it too. See : https://www.google.nl/search?q=fietsenstalling+amsterdam+centraal+station&rlz=1C1AVSA_enNL446NL446&espv=2&biw=1680&bih=949&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=sd0yVIqPIYesPJndgeAH&ved=0CEsQsAQ

@dolphin The racks here are double decker ones but I didn't like the effect of the two rows, there was too much going on behind the top row with distracting posters and lamps. katharine

@juliac Thank you. I thought Lucy's suggestion was a good one. Katharine

[Fisher Family]

@busylady Thank you, I thought so once I saw the effect. Katharine

[Fisher Family]

@pyrrhula Thanks for the comment and link, there are more bike racks at the other end of the station. Katharine

[Fisher Family]

@ivan Thank you. York has always had a lot of cyclists. The end of shift at Rowntrees was always fun to watch, a sea of bikes going through the gates. Katharine

[Fisher Family]

@lhart Thank you. Glad you liked it. Katharine

[Fisher Family]

@ceilidh Thank you. I am grateful for Lucy's suggestions. Katharine

[Fisher Family]

@tonydebont Thank you. Bikes have always been popular in York as a form of transport. The end of shift at Rowntrees was always fun to watch - what seemed like a sea of bikes through the factory gates. Katharine

[Fisher Family]

@ray_milsted Thank you. This was only one set of bike racks at the station. York is quite flat so bikes have always been a popular way of getting to and from work in the city. Katharine

[Fisher Family]

@thresheg Thank you. It shows only a proportion of the bikes parked at the station. katharine

[Fisher Family]

@bkbinthecity There is also a rack above this one but it wasn't very photogenic, and there are other bike racks at the station. Katharine

[Fisher Family]

@essiesue It is easier in York to ride a bike, its quite flat, although my youngest brother in Sheffield rides a bike to work. Katharine

@cathieg Thanks. I found the jumble was quite appealing. Katharine

@lizzybean Thanks Lizzy. I'll pass on your message to Ian. Katharine
