New developments should provide bike parking or bike storage and cycle changing facilities to encourage more cycling. Planning briefs and master plans should include these principles to encourage a high quality, connected environment for cyclists. Developments will need to address the needs of both long stay (staff, residents) and short stay (visitor) cyclists. These views are supported by the Cycle Standards: Supporting Evidence Report (February 2012), which highlights the need for more cycle parking facilities in the capital and across the nation.
It goes without saying that businesses and company premises should also aspire to accommodate employees and visitors/customers who cycle by providing adequate bike parking or bike storage facilities. This will encourage those who already cycle and also encourage those who don’t to take up cycling.
