Grading Bicycle Parking
Good bicycle parking options support cycling transportation. People are less likely to ride if their bicycle isn't safe at their destination.
Adding weather protection is a bonus that is increasingly important too. Cyclists are twice as likely to use a sheltered rack.
The CBWS bike parking manual provides details on best racks, site planning and design for bicycle parking and other destinations facilities.

At the Kid's Market on Granville Island in Vancouver, the shelter is convenient to the front door, providing informal surveillance to enhance
security. The design complements the building and is integrated into the structure, keeping costs down too. Information on planning bicycle
parking is in our bicycle parking manual.
A new grading system for bike parking is new to our CBWS website. This new project is support by Translink, the Metro Vancouver Transportation
Authority. Kid's market probably rates an 85/100. Find out more by following the link to
Grading Bicycle Parking PowerPoint Presentation:
A new approach to bike racks and site planning. A work in progress, the CBWS Power Point presentation offers some ideas on grading bicycle
parking to help suppliers produce good designs and products, and to help advocates assess bike parking in their communities.
