Free Bike Racks For Businesses/Organisations

Cheshire West and Chester council is offering free cycle parking stands for organisations in the area.  Community groups, small businesses, shops, offices, churches and voluntary sector groups can apply cycle stands free of charge. Up to four stands – that’s parking for eight bikes – are available per applicant, each holds two bikes neatly and securely.

The recipient is responsible for installing them, on their own premises, in a location agreed with the scheme organiser. Installing secure cycle parking will encourage staff and visitors to arrive by bike and shows that the organisation is doing its bit to reduce its carbon footprint.

Cycle Parking Guidance

Encouraging cycling includes meeting the need for cyclists to be able to park their bikes safely and securely when they arrive at their destinations.  Too often cycle parking is badly designed, poorly sited, or insecure.

Taking some simple planning steps when installing cycle parking can easily avoid these problems.  The Chester Cycling Campaign is pleased to be able to provide this clear, attractive and detailed Cycle Parking Guide which has been written by our colleagues in the Cambridge Cycling Campaign. Feel free to download a copy and make use of it when planning cycle parking on your site.
