Stands placed at 45 degrees or parallel to a kerb or building require a tapping rail. • Parking symbols on the tapping rail are not required to reduce visual clutter • Stands should be root fixed within the footway and surface materials carefully cut or drilled to provide a round hole that minimises the visibility of concrete infill • At locations where vandalism is anticipated, demountable bolt-down fixings may be used What if I want to do something different? Tubular stands other than the Sheffield model, which fulfil the design criteria, may be considered for use on the TLRN but require SDRG approval. TfL-branded cycle stands recently introduced at stations require SDRG approval for use on the TLRN. Long-stay facilities such as lockers, cycle hubs or two-tiered racks should be provided at transport interchanges, but again require SDRG approval when considered for the TLRN. Covered structures require planning approval from the local authority. Paperclip cycle rack Minneapolis, USA Cycle racks that speak to urban contex Key functions Opportunity Customised street furniture can enhance the character of a local area, emphasise a unique local history, or speak to the purpose of neighbouring businesses Benefits The innovative design of the cycle racks combine utility and style; alterations to basic cycle racks were made to improve their appearance while preserving their functionality. Implementation The customised cycle racks on the Minneapolis Art Institute’s campus have added a surprising twist to a necessary element of the public realm Applying in London Customised designs can reinforce an element of the local context. For occasions where there is a particular need for bespoke cycle parking, such an approach can work well. At other locations, Sheffield stands are best.

Benefits By removing ground level storage and placing cycles underground, station entrances can become obstacle free and increase pedestrian capacity in and out of the entrances and exits. Implementation It takes 15 seconds to insert or retrieve a cycle from 11 metres underground. Each unit can hold up to 144 cycles, thereby freeing up space in the public realm. The underground garage protects cycles from theft and bad weather. Like all Japanese structures, it is designed to withstand earthquakes. These subterranean cycle parks have been successful and have been rolled out across Tokyo and currently hold 800 of Tokyo’s cycles. The system owes its success to the speed and ease at which it operates. The units are also located in areas adjacent to metro stations for commuter convenience Applying in London High demand for cycle parking in London gives this system significant potential.
