How to Effectively Specify Cycle Storage is a free CPD course designed to give architects and project teams a structured framework for specifying cycle infrastructure within modern developments.

Rather than focusing on products, the session addresses the decision-making process behind compliant, durable and user-focused solutions – from site assessment through to long-term performance.

This free CPD course introduces a practical approach to cycle storage specification.

A member of our team will be in touch to confirm your session details and arrange a date that works for your schedule.

What you’ll learn

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

  • Assess spatial and contextual constraints before selecting storage typologies

  • Determine the most appropriate combination of shelters, racks, lockers and EOT facilities

  • Plan capacity, circulation and accessibility effectively

  • Apply layered security principles based on risk profile

  • Integrate sustainability and lifecycle performance considerations

  • Avoid common specification pitfalls that compromise usability

  • Justify design decisions clearly within planning and compliance frameworks
