ParkThatBike – standards & guidelines
Cycle parking is easy to get right. But, sadly, people get it wrong all too often. All of us who work professionally in cycling have seen new cycle parking facilities spring up that are wrongly specified, badly designed or incorrectly installed. It’s heartbreaking!
ParkThatBike can help you produce a cycle parking standard to guide developers, architects, travel planners and others who are designing for cycling. We can create your cycle parking standard, drawing on best practice from across the UK and abroad, and making it relevant to your particular area.
Guidance of this type is essential if costly and embarrassing mistakes are to be avoided, and the quality of cycle parking provision improved.
A typical cycle parking standard will cover…
- The importance of cycle parking
- The basic principles of cycle parking provision
- Short / medium / long term needs
- Where to locate cycle parking & which locations to avoid
- The Sheffield stand
- Weather protection
- Other recommended forms of cycle parking
- Other forms of cycle parking, not recommended
- Signposting
- Maintenance & management issues
- Planning and legal issues
- Minimum levels of cycle parking for new developments
- Directory of manufacturers & other useful contacts
- Other matters to consider
Your cycle parking standard will include maps, diagrams, photographs and technical specifications, and will be customised to meet the needs of your particular area. If you are interested in this service please contact us for a “ballpark” quotation and an informal discussion.
