I've always wanted to just park an enclosed trailer on the street to use as a bike garage. I know the Dutch solution to bike storage is to just have a crappy enough bike that no one wants to steal it, and you dont care about leaving it in the elements, but I want nice bikes, lol.
If I can park a car on the same spot indefinitely, why can't I do a trailer full of bikes?
Those bike lockers address theft, but not protection from the elements. They want it to be translucent for safety, but you could do that with plexiglass.
This!
I always found it very unfair that owning a car just gives people the privilege to just take up public space where the car stands 95% of the time doing nothing.
