Toronto Bike Locker
I am curious if anyone has used these bike lockers and has had any issues with them - bikes being stolen, size, dirt etc. Would anyone recommend using these at all?

I've used them in York Region. They're usually found outside community centers. Just bring your own pad lock. No issues.

I’ve used the one at work on a day when my bike got dirty enough I felt iffy about stashing it inside. They get very hot in summer and during my brief stint with a recumbent trike I had to put it on its side to fit.
The one at work is bring your own padlock and a U lock isn’t going to fit. I have a circular padlock, I got when we had a storage unit, that is hard to attack with bolt cutters.
Here in California’s elbow, lockers are sometimes inhabited. Seems like more so in unincorporated or retail areas. The ones at work show no signs of it. I think the ones at the light rail stations are rentals or time locks or something that tends to prevent that.
