Experimental cycle parking


On 11 May, Councillor Evelyn Knowles, Mayor of Cambridge, opened these blocks of experimental cycle parking, replacing the 'wheel benders' round the Guildhall. The ones in this picture are a chunkier-than-usual Sheffield stand	'Triangle 10' and 'triangle 20' racks. The experiment is funded by the Home Office as part of an experiment hoping to control cycle theft

These stands have been dubbed the 'scissors.' All the designs should be secure and durable	'Small footprint' or SF stands take up little space on the pavement until someone locks a bike to them and might work very well outside shops, as well as here
