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]
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.
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.
Two cycle parking stands and two lockers at Barrhead railway station (one stand is hidden by lamppost)
Cycle parking at Inverness railway station (platform 6 near side exit to station). The covered rack is a wheel-grabber.
Bikes crammed into this staircase area off St. Edward's Passage - which was recently developed with some lovely old wooden beams.
Brand new Sheffield stands in front of the Chemistry department, already in use although the access hasn't been finished yet.
Cycle parking at TMBC's Sale Waterside offices. Not sure what the bizarre design of stand is for, and I bet they cost more than standard sheffield stands. They're also installed a bit too close to the window - I hope they don't try to sue m ... [more]
High capacity cycle parking. This type of rack was called the "Triangle 10" as marketed by Falco (here purchased in 2001). Ten years later this link shows they're still being sold: http://www.falco.co.uk/products/cycle-parking/cycl ... [more]
Cycle parking at the southern end of Stretford arndale, next to St Matthew's church. 2 bikes can be locked to each stand, but they were installed far too close to the railings, so it's best if your bike has its own stand too.
Cycle parking provision (on a Sunday morning) - the University of East Anglia seems to be responding seriously to growing cycling levels.
Good parking at Norwich University College of the Arts (also lots of space on the railings to left).
Cycle parking at Stretford Metrolink station. 5 well spaced stands allow for 10 bicycles to be parked in an area that has reasonable natural surveillance. All 4 lockers are empty as usual (there's a paid membership system, and you need to ' ... [more]
Cycle parking stands near shops in Hyndland. There is plenty of space here to have put these end-on to the wall, making them easier to use, and using space more efficiently.
Cycle parking at Silverburn Shopping Centre, possibly Glasgow's largest cycle park. See also #22115
Cycle parking at the Argos entrance to Stretford Arndale. These 3 stands should allow for 6 bicycles to be parked securely, but only 4 will fit here because the stands have been installed too close to each other. The stands are also approx ... [more]
As part of 'Highway Improvements' to Crouch St, two of the Sheffield stands (see #28878) have been relocated further along, on the other side of the road.
As part of 'Highway Improvements' to Crouch St, half the cycle parking (see #28878) has been relocated approximately 60 metres away, here on Head Street.
Some of the older style cycle parking at Chesteron Community College. Not as secure, but at least its got a roof (even though that seems to be made of asbestos).
There's a clear need for some official cycle parking here as there are always bikes against the railings throughout the year. However the railings do make quite good cycle parking and add to the image of an informal urban environment.
Full to overflowing - Park Street Cycle Park, which has a capacity of 300 bikes is now so full that other railings in the car parking area are being used to accommodate bikes.
Don't leave valuables in you car the sign declares. But it's OK to leave your bike here.
Cycle parking stands have now been installed outside the side entrance to Partick station, two years after completion of station rebuilding work (see #30588 from earlier this year)
Lots of covered cycle parking stands at Airdrie station, but their position is awkward to get to from the road network.
A few cycle racks lurk amongst the motorcycles on top of this covered quay in the middle of Truro.
Some un-used cycle racks in the middle of Truro. I suppose the shape of these racks has a bit of a nautical theme.
Cycle parking on top of the Secure Cycle Parking at Edinburgh University's sports centre
Cycle stands conveniently placed in line with the ornamental gate posts on Edinburgh's main pedestrianised shopping street.
A fairly small row of cycle parking racks in an exposed part of this multi-storey / shopping complex.
A decent set of cycle racks alongside the current terminal of Bergen's Bybanen tram system near a shopping area.
The only covered cycle parking hidden right at the back of this otherwise attractive new housing development.
