Bikes at Massey

To create a shared bike system based at Massey for students and even the wider community to use to get around the city.

While our Creative Director was in chch, she checked out UCSA & their bikes.

While our Creative Director, Marie, was in Christchurch for another project she checked out UCSA's bikes. She reports she was throughly impressed with the style of the bikes and got stepped through the process a student would go through to hire out a bike.
  • ​To hire out the bikes students must fill out a form detailing information about themselves, which then gets filed into a folder which is kept for the academic year. The student then leaves their student ID with the reception.
  • The biker then gets a helmet and a key for a bike chained up outside. 
  • The bikes have a tagged number and a bike lock, which the user takes with them. They then can use the bike as long as they return it by 5pm, otherwise they may risk loosing the ability to hire the bikes.

Main takeaways:
  • Bikes are colourful and stylish — which differentiate them from other bikes, also look cool to use.
  • It is great that the lock that you unlock the bike with can also be taken with you
  • Having them sit outside means that the bike seats get wet — if it possible to have cover it would be ideal, especially as it rains in Wellington

    About the project

    Bike sharing systems are get more and more popular around the world. With the ease of apps people can rent bikes all over cities to get around. This project aims to provide something similar to these bike sharing models here, at Massey University Wellington. This will enable our staff and students to attend meetings or get supplies from the inner city faster. The only problem we foresee is Wellington's famous weather.
