We are looking into writing a design specification for the hacklab bike shed.

Things that would make the hacklab bike shed *awesome*:
  * a wooden sign on the door that says "Hacklab" -Ben
  * Mini antenna on roof -Ben
  * RGB LEDs in the windows -Ben
  * The walls should be painted mauve (#B784A7) on the outside and fuchsia (#FF00FF) on the inside -Miron
  * 24/7 techno soundtrack - allie
  * Bike ID for checkin / out by barcode stuck to frame. This is standard in Dutch bike parking places. Comes with a barcode tag counterpart for checking out, but we can use the existing hacklab NFC tokens. Bikes could have NFC too of course.
  * Bikes left in storage for too long will cause warnings sent to owners, then they will be autodestructed / automatically advertised for sale.
  * Shed should have built in locks so you don't need to bother bringing your own if you don't want 2FA.
  * Power for charging electric bikes.
  * Fiber-to-the-Bike.
  * Internet gateway for bike mesh network.
  * Music automatically set based on the bikes present.
  * Air pumps that automatically set to each bike's preferred tyre pressures.
  * Lab customisation / lab occupant advanced warning on bike checkin.
  * Automatic water bottle filler.
  * Bulk files / media download to on bike storage for high bandwidth bike-net. (Take data home on your bike.)
  * Connectors for on roof antennas for bike's APRS system.
  * Rain warning system before you leave.
  * Maintenance reminders - oil / air topups on schedule and more oil reminders after rain.
  * A mechanic.
  * Door wide enough for cubic Deliveroo bags.
  * Unlocking by presence of phone in short range.
  * Auto opening door so you can just cycle in without stopping.
  * Lights directing you to a free space.
  * Heating and ventilation to dry wet bikes.
  * A batman to serve tea on arrival, carry luggage inside...
  * A permanent, 24h, decorator, to repaint the bikeshed just before each user arrives, thereby avoiding any arguments about what colour it should be.
  *
