Planning systems in the UK ensure things are built in the right places, and to a certain standard. Whether that’s a housing development, office buildings or a new supermarket, criteria apply. The same goes for cycle parking. There are bicycle parking standards to follow, which are designed to ensure it’s easy and convenient to park bikes.
After all, bike storage can shape the look, feel and usability of places we live, work or visit. It should be designed and installed in such a way to make that impact a positive one.
As cycling gets increasingly popular – as a hobby and a way of getting from A to B – it’s important to consider how bicycle parking can be efficiently integrated into your project.
Cycling is a sustainable and healthy form of transport – so it’s hardly surprising considerable effort has been put into providing the right infrastructure to make the choice to cycle a more convenient one.
