It also includes economic acti1it$ such as the deli1ering of goods or ser1ices. In cities the bic$cle courier is often a familiar feature and freight bic$cles are capable of competing

%hat #orks& C$clists are more likel$ to park (here their bic$cles are safe and protected from (eather. At least 2 of long,term bic$cle parking

should be co1ered. Indoor storage is best. It is often possible to find a secure room or an area in a basement or under stairs. #ic$cle parking can

often use odd,shaped interior spaces that ha1e fe( other purposes. all,mounted racks are (ell suited to indoor storage. Locate in (ell,lit areas ,

Spacing and Sitting Standards

Each bic$cle parking space should be easil$ accessible. C$clists should be able to securel$ lock their bic$cles (ithout undue incon1enience and their bic$cles should be reasonabl$

safeguarded from intentional or accidental damage. Consider the space that a rack full of bic$cles (ill take up not Dust the rack itself. Also consider that c$clists require a sufficient path(a$ in
