Let Science Center know bike parking sucks
Local bike artist, Janet Attard, send me an email encouraging people to contact the Science Centre and fill out a survey to let them know they need some good bike parking. So go to it!
I do not know if you have ever cycled to the science centre, but the parking for cyclists is really really terrible !
I did visit their web site, and they do not even have directions to the science for cyclists, even though it is right next to a major cycling path.
I spent a year.........writing letters to try to get them fix these problems and improve things for cyclists...........but nothing positive came out of my work.
If you read the questionnaire, they ask about PARKING, a few times. They do not ask about Public Transport or Cycling. So it is pretty clear they only want to cater to car drivers !

It seems more directed at the media than the general public.
sorry but I would never leave my bike outside that place,,,, =8^) (Steeker)

hey...it's Canada and we spell it 'Centre' not 'Center'!
survey completed with Bike parking related comments.
yeah - i agree with A.R.: this seems to be a Media targetted survey.
locking my bike outside of a location that indicates i'll not be back @ my bike for at least a few areas always makes me a bit wary. places like TTC stations, movie theaters, museums etc: it would seem obvious that a bike left there would be a "safe" target for a few hours (unlike a bank or store where the owner could come back @ any second.)
I usually intentionally lock my bike in one of these later locations, rather than the former (even if it means a short walk ) to keep my bike a bit safer.
seems excessive - but my bike is my ONLY set of wheels - i'm lost without it =)
