Twenty years ago, the Dutch government made money for the first time to expand the bicycle parking facilities at stations and to improve their quality significantly. It marked a different way of dealing with the cyclist as an important pivot in the development of central and station areas and the stimulation of the bicycle-train combination as a form of sustainable mobility. It also marked the permanently changed appearance of station environments in the Netherlands. Over the past twenty years, ProRail, provinces, municipalities and NS have realized an average of 25,000 bicycle parking spaces per year. And the end is far from in sight. Due to the growing use of both the train and the bicycle, more and ever larger bicycle parking facilities have appeared in the station area: we are now building in the ground, into the air, under the tracks and even … under water. The development, design and realization of bicycle parking facilities at stations is a separate profession for which there is no training. In this book, project manager Folkert Piersma and plan developer and photographer Wout Ritzema take you into that wonderful world. They look back passionately on the origins of this phenomenon and answer the most frequently asked questions from professionals from home and abroad.
