This session will help practitioners to plan bike parking for shoppers, diners, errand runners, visitors, students, sports fans, concertgoers, and much more. The session will include benefits of short-term parking, design strategies, and fundamental approaches to comprehensive short-term bike parking standards.

  1. Explain the basic features of a highly functional bike rack
  2. Explain at least two key considerations for site selection while matching the right rack to the right location to attract cyclists
  3. Identify at least two common guidelines and obstacles of short-term parking
  4. Describe at least two fundamental design features that creates a desirable short-term bike parking facility

Don’t Fear Commitment: Successful Long-Term Bike Parking

When a bike commuter or anyone riding a bike considers a parking location, the length of time they intend to stop may inform where they choose to park. If a person riding a bike anticipates parking for more than two hours, priorities will likely shift. Bike parking must always be conveniently located and easy to use, but when parking for several hours or more, security and how well protected the bike is from the elements becomes increasingly important. During this session, you will learn about how to select the right equipment and provide the optimal space to create desirable long-term bike parking facilities that consider the perspective of people who ride bicycles.

  1. Explain at least one of the basic features of a highly functional bike rack
  2. Understand key characteristics of long-term bike parking facilities
  3. Identify at least two common pitfalls of long-term bike parking
  4. Recognize proper layouts to potential bike rooms
