"Train commuters now can jump on their bike to connect with rail services following the completion of 23 new bike cages at stations across metropolitan Melbourne and key regional centres fulfilling a Brumby Government pledge to improve access for cyclists to public transport services. Visiting the new bike cage at Newport station , Public Transport Minister Lynne Kosky announced a further 10 cages would be delivered this year. “I am delighted that 23 cages are now finished and we have released funding for a further 10 which will by the end of the year provide space for more than 850 bikes in secure and weather protected cages,” Ms Kosky said. “The locations of the next 10 cages is being finalised as we consult with Bicycle Victoria to establish demand for the cages as well as providing a safe and suitable location for them.”
