Cambridge Cycling Campaign are a source of quality advice in this area; their expertise should be used by planners.

Of course secure cycle parking, shower facilities and lockers should be required in new office buildings.

Too often in new developments in Cambridge mistakes are made with cycle parking facilities; for example installing equipment which is insecure or difficult to use. Planners need to review what went wrong with the "secure by design" approach which led to easy to unbolt cycle stands being installed in new developments in Cambridge including at the Cambridge North Station, and crime prevention efforts need to be stepped up by planners.

Cycle parking needs to be available for all manner of cycle based vehicles including bikes with trailers, rickshaws etc.

Parking systems, such as double decker racks, which can only be used by the strong fit and healthy should be avoided.

Consider the access to cycle parking in snowy and icy conditions.
