bicycle accessories Signing It is highly desirable to make the existence and method of use of cycle parking facilities obvious. Studies have shown that where one or two bikes are parked initially (especially where the site gives an air of organisation and security) , many more will quickly appear. New bicycle accessories facilities may require a promotional campaign in order to establish regular users. For example, it is helpful to make the parking facility easily noticeable, and perhaps install a display panel explaining use. For lockers information should be given on how to hire them. The Traffic Signs and General Directions bicycle accessories signs manual has a series of prescribed signs for cycle parking on the public roads system. The benefit of using recognised highway signs, or a convention standard to the establishment concerned, is that it carries the image of a planned and managed scheme.

Moving bicycle accessories parts are easy targets for vandalism. This is why the simple Sheffield stand is often the most suitable type of parking for an open public environment, unless there is close surveillance. Coin release keys, which tend to offer few security advantages, can pose liability problems. If a hirer loses bicycle accessories the key, it is a risk to release the bike against a description. Lockers have an advantage here, in that it is more difficult for a prospective thief to describe accurately what is inside. Evidence suggests that locker systems that have been offered as open access, often fall quickly bicycle accessories into disrepair. Active management is therefore required. This need not be a burden on the staff of the site owner, as the work could be contracted to a voluntary organisation, and may even offer opportunities for commercial operators operating on a regional or national basis.
