Visibility

Bike racks should be visible from the road or bike path, and not in an isolated area.

Space

Ensure the user can comfortably maneuver around their bike to lock and unlock it.

Safety

Bike racks should have ample space around them to avoid collisions with other cyclists or pedestrians.

Convenience

Bike parking area should be easy to access from the cycling route.

Weather Protection

Bikes and bike accessories should be kept dry and out of the elements.

Security

Bike parking area should be well lit, free of hiding places and in view or video monitoring.

Availability

Space should allow maximum capacity for bikes and be expandable.
