- Cyclists & Walkers Welcome Enhanced
We focus on the specific needs of cyclists and walkers and provide:
- Puncture repair kit and bike tool kit.
- Suitable cycle parking to chain 2 or more bikes to a permanent structure. This can be bike stands or street furniture.
- Implements and materials to clean muddy boots.
Specifics
You and your staff are not required to advise on or help fix bikes, or clean muddy boots and apparel.
Bike parking stands are more appealing to cyclists as they are specifically designed for purpose. If stands are not available, permanent securing furniture must be sturdy and ideally within the premises or adjacent and visible from the premises.
