Why is this important?

Providing somewhere safe, secure and accessible for staff to leave their bikes at work is the first step in becoming a cycle-friendly employer.

Well designed and convenient bike parking facilities also provides a message to all staff and customers that cycling is welcomed in the organisation.

What might it involve?

For employers looking to install cycle parking it is important that:

• The location is close to building entry points
• Stands are designed so both wheels and frames can be locked to something immovable in a position that is safe and dry
• There are enough racks to go around as well as spaces for new riders
