• Make a public presentation with different types of bicycle stands. Let people test them with their own bicycles and locks.
  • Do not invent the wheel again. There are hundreds of different models of bicycle stands. Some are really good. The simplest is often the best. Steel frames are very flexible to lean all kind of bicycles against and lock. Do not use “wheel killer”
  • Ask your citizens where to put bicycle stands in the city. Take a survey and involve as many people as possible.
  • Have a look at public space. Offer bicycle stands where you find bicycles locked at lanterns etc.
  • Ask housing companies, employers and local business to install cycle stands.

 

  • Buy a good lock. Always lock your bicycle with frame and one wheel to something irremovable like a steel rod.
  • Leave your bicycle in a visible place. Do not give thieves the chance to feel unwatched. Lock your bicycle at lanterns or poles if you do not find adequate cycle stands.
  • Individualize your bicycle with paint.
  • Ask for bicycle stands where you need them: At your flat, at work, at school, university, at the station, in front of your favourite shop, cinema, theatre, swimming pool, library, lake, beach. Ask your municipality to install bicycle stands in public spaces.
