Interesting article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer: Downtown Cleveland has a new tenant -- bike station aims to boost two-wheeled commutes.
"Manager John Sirignano, 50, of Bay Village, said the station helps bicyclists overcome the largest impediments to urban commuting -- lack of secure storage for bikes and a place to clean up."
I share the same concern of the lack of a shower but their solution is too expensive.

5x5x4=$100 a month. I think it would be cheaper to join a downtown gym and lockup close to work.
Might be a bit more reasonable if you are only biking to work 2-3 days a week. Even then the local Y is a lot cheaper with the added benefit of using the equipment.
If they are still doing it, Grant's health center had a $15-20 monthly pass that was shower/track only geared towards bike commuters. Too far east of the CBC to be useful to many.
As much as I would love to see a bike station in downtown Columbus, I think we have a bit too much spread with our downtown businesses to make a single location work well for everyone. Would be great to see more of the health centers/gyms doing something similar to Grant, as it would help the location issue.
