The benefits of providing cycle parking
There are a wide range of benefits to providing cycle parking - and they aren't gained only by those who cycle.
1. Who benefits?
We tend to see the cyclists themselves as the only recipients of the benefit of increased and improved cycle parking. Of course they are the direct beneficiaries but they certainly are not the only ones. A range of groups benefit from increased cycling, including:
- shopkeepers
- employers
- the community at large
- the local authority
- property developers
