A friend of mine in the Kanata Nepean Bicycle Club sent me a couple of pictures of what they are doing in Amsterdam with respect to Bike Garages.
They have it right in Holland. I think the City of Ottawa (and other Canadian cities) can learn a great deal from what the Dutch are doing.

Can you picture one of these in downtown Ottawa?

I agree – secure bike parking would be great to see in Ottawa.
