What happens when there's not enough cycle parking: people park several spaces abreast, and bikes fall over. In this case, this is done to excess. And so bikes end up in the path of passing vehicles, with wheels being flattened.
The scene greeting visitors to Cambridge on their way from the railway station. An acute lack of secure cycle parking leads to bikes parked insecurely to the wooden railing, with the result of this vandalism.
Cyclehoops are designed to be installed on street furniture. Designer Anthony Lau says this reduces street clutter by using existing structures rather than adding more and makes installing them fast - Anthony says he can put in 20 in a day. ... [more]
The cycle parking here was designed to stop skateboarders using this entrance area to an historic university site for honking and back-flips.
These parasol type hanging 'designer' cycle parking, known as 'meathooks', were so unpopular they were replaced after only a few months.
Rounded A cycle parking alongside the Guildhall. This picture was used in Central Government literature about cycle parking.
Cycle hoop. Anthony is a trainee architect who is also a cyclist. And a cyclist who has had a bike stolen by thieves who lifted it off the top of the pole he had 'secured' it to. Anthony has subsequently designed the Cyclehoop http://ww ... [more]
It's the 21st of December, -4 C, about half past mid-day on a working day. The bike racks are more than full as usual. Watch the video to get an idea of how many cyclists you see here, even on cold days. The paths have, of course, all be ... [more]
One technique that is sometimes used to steal bikes is to lock a bike to another one. The miscreant comes along later at a quieter time of day, cuts through the other lock and takes both bikes away. This is called 'over-locking'. I don't ... [more]
Residential cycle parking units here in Rotterdam. See also #11425 The red panels say... Fietsrommel nummer 095 Bij storing of onraad gaarne melden aan: Stadstoezicht Rotterdam Telefoonnummer: 010 - 4130505
An old ferry converted into a vast cycle park with double decker cycle racks behind Amsterdam Central station.
Multi-storey cycle park outside the central station in Amsterdam. See inside at #11401. See photomap tips at: http://www.camcycle.org.uk/map/location/help/addphoto/#tips
Opportunistic cyclists use the skip as a temporary place to park while visiting the pub opposite.
Inadequate cycle parking at Tesco, Newmarket Road. Note: There is a fundamental problem with the design of these particular 'toastracks'. The rails on the toast-rack are spaced such that one of the bike wheels has to 'sit' on the top of ... [more]
This is an area of high levels of cycle theft. Yet not a single cycle parking stand is available, despite literally hundreds of insecure bikes being left against walls. Car parking on the opposite site of the road should be selectively remo ... [more]
Amongst the highest quality cycle parking in Cambridge, outside the computer laboratory on the West Cambridge Site. Features: covered cycle racks on a hard surface, lit at night, and looks amazing.
Yet another strange attempt at designer cycle parking. The main bike in this photo is not parked properly. The bike in the foreground is properly parked and locked - having its front wheel correctly seated in the 'tray'. This is in an arty ... [more]
Bumper-to-bumper residential car parking available, but not a spot of residential cycle parking, with bikes parked insecurely against very many houses here.
Nowhere to park bikes here (officially), but such an obvious need, and there\'s plenty of space.
Q: Where's my bike? A: Probably been nicked! Please complain about this hopeless and insecure cycle parking.
Hopeless wheelbender cycle parking! The front wheel was locked to the rack, but the rest of the bike has gone. Often a front wheel of another bike will have been purloined to make up a whole bike.
Maybe some inspiration for cycle parking designs comes from drinking. The beer photo was taken during a Cycle Registration conference in Ostende, Belgium, November 2001. The Cycle parking photo was taken somewhere in Malmö, Sweden.
Double decker cycle parking near a metro station somewhere in Copenhagen. This clever cycle parking really packs the bikes in. The bikes in the bottom row are below the walkway. To get your bike in the upper row, just lift the front wheel o ... [more]
Bikes often fall over when locked to 'Sheffield' style stands. This happens because as the neighbouring bikes are parked and unparked the bike is jostled and the cycle lock works its way down the leg of the stand.
There are about 5 stands already here, but this is not enough as you can rarely get a parking space and have to use lamp-posts. This is outside Crisis Skylight which has lots of students as well as homeless people attending to use the servi ... [more]
There are quite a few shops on this parade and there is one bike rack further down towards Highbury corner and this is usually full so we have to use trees and lamp-posts as well.
Wheel grabber cycle parking at The Stables, near Kirkintilloch. Next to NCN 754 on Forth & Clyde Canal.
Riders vote with their bikes - the Sheffield style cycle racks are almost full - but the wheel benders are completely empty.
Taken from the upper deck of a number 26 bus. Boris bikes in this side street, off Fleet Street.
This bike is secured to the seat of this bus stop - made more discrete by having the same colour scheme.
Cycle hoops on both sides of the road on this boundary to the square mile. http://www.cyclehoop.com/
A stylish single speed bike (on the freewheel cog) it locked up textbook style with the extension cable looped around the rack - a feat only practical on this type of stand when there are no other bikes alongside.
What a great use for a street - to store a load of 24 hour on-street fully automated hire bikes. Note: there's even a dropped kerb.
Allison Close - SE10 8AZ. A residential block of 48 flats with no bike parking facilities.
Another sign making bikes unwelcome and threatening removal. In the distance a rider locks their bike to a post.
It seems that its OK to use railings for crass advertising, but not for parking bikes. At least this gym has provided some racks, see #35389 and #35388.
Good to see some cycle parking outside this gym. These are probably from: http://cycle-works.com/?products=rounded-a-rack
