    What type of cycle parking facilities should you provide?

    The type of cycle parking most appropriate for your site will depend on a number of factors, including the number of car

    bike

    carriers cyclists in each building, distance between buildings, the number and location of entrances, availability of space and the level of cycle theft in the neighbourhood
