ELEVEN.. New developments around Cambridge
Car and bicycle parking
Cycle parking near the front doors of new houses will help make going by bike the logical choice
If it is simpler and easier, and seen as safe and convenient, to jump on a bicycle for a five-minute journey to the shops rather than using a car then that is what people generally will choose to do.
There should be secure, covered cycle parking near the front doors of new houses – not round the back in an inaccessible garage, while car parking should be further away and largely out of sight.
As for shops within new developments, it is important that good-quality cycle parking is designed in, and that it is every bit as convenient and well designed as the car parking. This means there must be enough cycle parking spaces, they must be located close to the destination and they must be visible.
