On-Street Bicycle Parking a) The Need for Bicycle Parking Facilities Different Types of Bicycle Parking
c) Bicycle Racks d) Chapter 12 Recommendations Different Types of Bicycle Parking
Different types of bicyclists require different types of bicycle parking facilities. Those commuting to all-day workplaces generally require indoor parking or bicycle lockers, or at least supervised outdoor bicycle racks. Retail, enter-tainment and business destinations frequented by visitors, shoppers and messengers are best served by well-made, well-situated outdoor racks, located in busy public places where thieves cannot work unobserved. Messenger reception centers at large buildings, preferably located in view of outdoor parking, can also counter theft by minimizing cycle couriers' drop-off time. For certain kinds of residential buildings in New York City — small apartment houses, walk-ups and tenements with narrow hallways — outdoor bike parking facilities, in covered areas where possible, are sometimes in order. Any available space, such as a rear courtyard, can become a bike parking facility with the addition of a simple railing. a) The Need for Bicycle Parking Facilities Different Types of Bicycle Parking
