Poll: Bike storage at nights

Alamelu from Newtown

Hi All,
*Points to consider: bikes don't cause pollution, they don't pose a risk to pedestrians and don't take up space on the roads, roadsides, block storefronts.
If one drives a car, they are paying for petrol (unless it's electric), causing pollution and taking up a lot of space. It shouldn't be a matter of pride.
I'm excited to see bike lanes around Newtown and I wanted to explore getting back on a bike after many years. I'm doing my due diligence and getting in touch with pedal ready etc. to be ready for the roads. I understand from a bike rental place that insurance companies require bikes to be locked away in a garage.
What are the options for people who don't have a garage and live up a steep flight of steps?
I recommend the city to have some secure sheds around residential areas with access cards or something that can keep our bikes safe from being stolen.
What do you think neighbours? Any suggestions?
Already provided my feedback to WCC.
