Where Can You Park Your Bike?
If everyone is being encouraged to ditch the car for a more environmentally friendly method of transport such as cycling, this means that there needs to be places available to park your bike. As a business or an organisation this is something that you need to be investing in for your employees.
What factors need to be considered for cycle parking?
It needs to be secure, so that bicycles are not stolen or damaged
Visible, convenient and accessible, therefore it is a good idea to have it close to the facilities
Cater for bikes of different sizes
Have plenty of room and capacity
Easy to keep maintained
Different types of cyclists
You will need to assess who you are catering for. Do not think that all cyclists are the same, they come in all different ages, shapes and sizes.
Employees- need a covered shelter which is close to the entrance
Commuters - security, overlooked and covered, close to the entrance and good capacity at the peak times of the day
Residents - secure, close to the entrance, good visibility
School Children - needs child sized stands, with possible facilities for scooters which are visible to staff
Shoppers - safe from the traffic and close to the shops
Families - room for trailer bikes, to accommodate different sized bikes and away from any traffic
Space for your cycle parking
When you are planning to create a cycle parking facility, you need to consider how much space you have which will determine the type of cycle parking that you can install. For instance a cycle shelter will take more space than simply installing a cycle rack.
Before choosing the type of cycle parking that you need to supply remember to consider who you are catering for and then also where you can install it. After thinking about this you will have an idea of what you are looking for.
Here is a list of your different cycle parking options:
Cycle stands or racks - these are cost effective. They are most popularly fitted in a 'toast rack' formation which will allow the cycle to be fixed at both the frame and the wheels. They are almost maintenance free and would be ideal for short term cycle parking
Cycle compounds - these are a good option if you require extra security and is an ideal solution if the cyclist needs to park for long periods. You can add options such as key pad, key fobs, and swipe card for security.
Two tier cycle racks - provides double the capacity of traditional cycle parking systems, for the reason that it is a two-tier system
Shelters - these will provide essential covered parking which are perfect for cycles that will be left in parking for a long period of time. You could also add options such as powder coating, cladding options, lockers, lighting and CCTV for extra security
Cycle lockers - ideal for environments where you need extremely secure cycle parking facilities. This makes it great for public spaces, and train stations and can come in either single, double, horizontal or vertical lockers
Lock it safe can provide you with all your cycle parking needs. We have a range of cycle shelters, and bike compounds available.
