Cycling is growing massively as a trend in both leisure and practical travel. Promoting cycling as a mode of sustainable transport is becoming a priority for many different organisations across the UK and a big part of this is providing cycle parking facilities.

We at Cyclepods love cycling, we love our environment, and we recognise that space and security are big issues in today’s urban spaces. We want to make a difference in the way that people use cycle storage so that cycling as a mode of transport is more attractive and more efficient.

Cyclepods knows from experience what the best practice is when introducing cycle parking to your site, and this CPD will take you through all you need to consider when planning and choosing cycle storage that suits your project, benefits cyclists and will ensure whatever storage specified will be used.
