[bikeqld] Hilton owns the footpath too!

Yea this might be the outcome that we will get from expensive bike parks.

 

"No bike parking" signs.

Well, as of 1:05pm today, it became evident that the Hilton Hotel owns the
section of footpath that runs past their dingey dump on Elizabeth St in the
city (Brisbane).

Someone on a not-inexpensive MTB had chained their bike up to one of the
poles out the front (ie: on the taxpayer side of the property) and someone
has left a nasty note on it: (paraphrasing) "This is not a bike parking
spot. It is a hotel flagpole. DO NOT leave it here again or it will be cut
off and removed!!!"

I couldn't take a photo as I have a mobile phone that actually makes phone
calls and doesn't do much else.

Just thought I would throw it out there should anyone want to take issue
with the hotel....  Myself, I wouldn't care and would get an old bike and a
proper krytonite lock and sit across the road watching them try and remove
it >:)
