Bike shed construction starts

Construction of a new bike shed has commenced at Woy Woy Station bringing the promised 50 extra secure bike spaces for the station a step closer.

"This bike shed will be a boost for Woy Woy bicycle riders, particularly those who catch public transport as part of their daily commute," said Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast, Mr Scot MacDonald.

"Using their Opal cards, bicycle riders will, in the future, be able to access the facility and store their bikes securely for free," Mr MacDonald said.

"I would like to thank the bike riding community of the Central Coast for their advocacy of secure bike storage," he said.

"These facilities are being delivered as part of the Bike and Ride initiative, which is identified in ... Transport for NSW's plan to make bicycle riding a feasible transport option.

"We're making public transport an attractive option for people and the availability of these new bike sheds will make it easier for customers to use public transport."
