Bubbler bike and blue sky

Hired pedal cars for touring around Canberra's Lake Burley Griffin, from Mr Spokes...

I think we all prefer the bike hire and paddle boats rather than more Lake side development!

Brakes applied to bike hire business

By Kirsten Lawson
The long-running Mr Spokes bike-hire business closed its doors at West Basin on January 31 after being paid out by the ACT government, which wants the land for residential and commercial development.
The nearby paddle-boat business settled in December, also paid out in a confidential deal.
Both businesses were bruised by their dealings with the Land Development Agency, with Mr Spokes owners Jillian Edwards and Martin Shanahan close to desperation last year over what they said then were bullying tactics from the agency.
But the couple said they were satisfied with the final deal.
Mr Spokes had been operating at the lake for as many as 35 years.
Mr Shanahan and Ms Edwards bought the business and the building in 2006 for $480,000 with a Crown lease that was to run until 2027.

Ms Edwards said the business had been operating for as many as 25 years before they bought it.
