The city of Utrecht in the Netherlands has just opened the first part of what will become the largest bicycle parking garage in the world. More information in the blog post: bicycledutch.wordpress.com/?p...

The Netherlands should be the standard for all cycling infrastructure
@simpleton76 жыл бұрын
The standard should be if you are willing to let young children cycle on it - I don't think this is possible to misinterpret or water down. There is a lot of picking things that are technically Dutch but either using them in the wrong context (turbo roundabouts) or compromising on budget, reallocation of space etc and you end up losing all the benefits. www.aviewfromthecyclepath.com/2013/04/the-netherlands-sets-best-example-but.html Mini Hollands in London explicitly used that branding, and many were successful. Certainly the lifestyle (and economic) benefits the Dutch receive from high levels of cycling should be a major selling point when trying to get through the overhyped 'but I need to drive' objections.

jonathan spittlehouse We do not need better bikes as they get stolen if they look to fancy. Better to have a cheap bike of 50 euro which looks crap and is stolen within a year or so, than to have a pretty bike of 2000 euro which is stolen within a week. However this is mainly in big cities, in smaller towns bikes are more expensive and better maintained as crime rates are lower. At least for bike theft that is. The biking infrastructure is also better in most cases and cyclist more well behaved. Completely have to agree that cyclists in Amsterdam are lunatics though. Even as a Dutch guy I almost got run over a couple of times.

No they shouldn't, it is a wast of money to cater to mountain bike users. Better spending it on every day infrastructure. The majority of mountain bike users take the car with the bike on a rack, like you do with your guns, then ride for a few hours. Then return home. Starting to think the statistics about the number of bikes are completely wrong. Think the number is not 20 million but more around 28 to 30 million. Within my 'group' most have three bikes, within my extended family it is around 2.5 pp.

Baptiste Carron yes but not many people in NL have mountain bikes because they use bikes enough to know the potential losses from friction from the tires and how heavy they are. That would be reaching to a niche whereas the area bespoke for cargo cycles is better because they take up more room and also have larger manoeuvring circles. If this was intended as a joke be aware I did find the amusing side to the point, but it might be useful for urban planners to know if they stumble across our comments. You’ll be surprised at how active they are. Trust me.

This is impressive. I've visited China multiple times; first in 1988. Before the more recent rise of the personal automobile, bicycles were ubiquitous (and the few drivers well trained and brilliant. Now many or most of the drivers are as bad as the rest of us....) If Guangzhou, China is not denser than Utrecht it is certainly more populous. Bicycle parking there was often huge street areas jam packed with bicycles. A bit messy, but I don't think there ever was a need for a large indoor parking facility. Double tier racks like in the Utrecht garage could've sorted the mess. I wonder, Is this beautiful bicycle garage perhaps overdoing it a bit? Also Kunming in Yunnan still stands out as very intelligently separating bicycles, vehicles and pedestrians. Cycling there was wonderful (until the smoke belching but now gone, city buses drove past.) I have not visit the Netherlands in over 40 years, but it's top of my list: to see more Rembrandts, the other museums and to ride bicycles with the Dutch. I live in Los Angeles, and after years of driving, and limiting my cycling (some local bourgeois Stalinists, masquerading as environmentalists, got cycling banned from all city parks!). And after seeing numerous incidents where bicyclists were completely ignored or unseen by car drivers, I took my old mountain bike out, pumped up the tires, and decided to see for myself. I survived. I've proved, at least to myself, that a high level of situational awareness makes cycling practical and reasonably safe. The hills flattened out a bit after I replaced my bearings, grease and bottom bracket (Want a new bike? Ride the old one for a few weeks, then do all the needed maintenance-- voila! it's like getting a brand new bicycle.) The next big hurdle is whether or not I can ride into downtown, park and lock my bicycle and after a few hours, find it still there, still working. I was also concerned about pollution, a rigorous 3-4 hour sea kayaking ocean paddle completely clears my lungs, the same on my bicycle while not as good, I'm happy to say is significantly more healthy than unhealthy. (I hadn't done very much street riding in 20 years, the diesel exhaust standards in California improved significantly about 15 years ago. This made a significant difference.

You need to check in with your public transport card for which you pay monthly. As for security, it's at the largest and most modern train station in the country. There's security guards and police no more than minutes away, plus hundreds if not thousands of CCTV cameras in this area.

It is free for 99% of users, as the first 24 hours are free, and most are daily commuters.

At 1:29 you see my bike. It's absolutely a brilliant facility, and after a one minute walk I'm inside my train. I love my country w.r.t. cycling.

Just use the lock on your bicycle almost everyone in The Netherlands has a lock.

You need a massive pair of bolt cutters or some kind of power tool to cut the average cable lock. Also this is at the main train hub in the country, there are CCTV cameras pretty much every 10 meters and security guards and rail police a few minutes away. No thief is going to bother trying to steal a bike from here when they can steal it on the street.

Spotless ones. They cost some money (50 cents I believe) but the ticket is a voucher you can use in the shops at the station. So if you buy a coffee or something they are free.

How much does it cost to store bike in there? Is it an hourly rate?
@BicycleDutch3 жыл бұрын
The first 24hrs are free. After that you pay €1.25 for every next 24hrs. There are also subscriptions for a month or a year.

@@BicycleDutch seems good value as well. Costs at least that per hour for a car park
