12 Bike Racks to Avoid Bike racks that do not allow locking of the frame and place stress on wheels should be avoided. Bike Parking Long-term parking Serpentine Schoolyard Long-term bike parking is intended for use over several hours or overnight. Long-term parking should be located within secure areas with limited access and protect bikes from the elements. Cage Wheelwell Bollard Coathanger Spiral Short-term parking Short-term bike parking (also referred to as Class 2 or Class B bicycle parking) is designed to be used from a few minutes up to a couple of hours. As a result, short-term parking should be easily accessible, in plain view, and available for public use. Locating short-term parking within 15m (50 ) of the entrance used by cyclists is recommended, as is weather protection where possible. Lockers Room Inverted U Post & Ring What makes a good bicycle parking space: Each parking space is a minimum of 0.6m X 2m Includes a rack that supports the bicycle in a stable position, with two points of contact preventing it from falling over Can be a wall-mounted rack Is securely anchored to the ground or wall Resists cutting, rusting and bending or deformation Well maintained and cleared of snow in the winter Placed no more than 15m from the entrance used by cyclists* Visible from the destination to reassure cyclists about security of the rack* Located in a high-traffic area with passive surveillance Located along the desire line from adjacent bikeways Weather protected, by siting racks under existing structures or installing free-standing structures * Applies predominantly to short-term parking Illustrations edited from: Essentials of Bike Parking Revision 1.0, September 2015
13 How Much Parking? We ask businesses to self-assess whether they provide sufficient and safe parking. We have provided guidelines to help assess parking requirements for your business. (adapted from the Downtown Halifax Land Use By-Law, 2015). Use Housing Accommodation General food sales or groceries Shops and Services Public Institution, General Office, Banks, Medical Clinics, Institutional Uses, Government Buildings Auditoriums, Theatres, Stadiums, Halls, Churches Schools, Colleges, Universities Recreation Facilities, Community Centres, Libraries Commercial Parking Garages Any Uses Not Specified Above Bicycle Parking Requirement 0.5 spaces per dwelling unit 1 space for every 20 rooms (min. 2 spaces) 1 space per 150 sq. m.

(min 2 spaces) 1 space per 500 sq m. gross floor area (min 2 spaces) 1 space for every 20 seats 1 space per 250 sq. m. gross floor area 1 space per 200 sq. m. gross floor area 5% of motor vehicle parking provided (min 6 spaces) 1 space per 500 sq.m gross floor area (min 2 spaces) Other Amenities Bike Repair Stand or Station A Bike Repair Stand (graphic for repair stand) holds a bicycle off the floor, allowing cyclists to easily work on parts that are harder to access such as the derailleur, chain, and cassette. A stand is essential for many major repairs and adjustments and is a big help when cleaning the bicycle s drivetrain. A Bicycle Repair Station combines a Bike Repair Stand with a Bike Repair Kit, such as bike Fix-it stands (graphic for repair station) Bike Cleaning Station A bike cleaning station or area provides a space for cyclists to clean off the dirt and grease that have accumulated on their bicycle. This space should include rags, degreaser, and a water hose. It is most ideal to provide a bike cleaning station/area in addition to a Bike Repair Stand and Bike Repair Kit. Bike Repair Kit A bike repair kit includes all the essential tools to perform basic maintenance on a bicycle. For the NS Bicycle Friendly Certification, this includes the following. (with graphic of each) - Presta/Shrader compatible bike pump (floor pump recommended) - Allen key set - Adjustable wrench (X2) - Chain lube - Tire lever set - Tire patches - Slotted screwdriver - Phillips screwdriver
