Really unfortunate incident - but the design of the bike parking at Bunnings and Mitre 10 does predispose to this happening. I have been trapped in by car parking before because the cars were touching my back wheel when in the bike rack and people have nearly hit me when I’m reversing my bike out of the rack (often fully loaded with DIY stuff so not always able to squeeze through a tight gap)
Can we provide a response to the big box stores highlighting this issue?

The trailer drop off here would make it easy to be pinned against wall or gas cage by someone reversing and overshooting.
