Also the solar pannels will be used to charge the go-peds that will be stored in the shed. Could you please e-mail the sizes of this bike shed as it would be greatly appreciated thank you very much in advance. i am designing somthing similar to this for an AS D.T prodject, however it is for personal use public use thus one could have it at home instead of in the middle of a town.

People mainly being under 20s (though under 14 is more likely) drunk or on some drugs cocktail. If we can't change our youth culture of increasing disrespect towards anything productive for our communities it will be hard to deploy such things on a large scale. I remember in my home village in Berkshire a man who was persecuted for years by kids, simply for trying to improve his house with visible solar and wind power adaptations. In a business park, under surveillance it might be ok. The only problem is spending so much time/money/energy protecting scuh things may outweigh the actual energy they produce. sorry to be negative, but we live in a pretty crappy society at the moment. this kind of thing would be great, but unfortunately it would be stolen or more likely simply destroyed by people.
