End of Trip Facilities
Cycling, especially for work trips, often requires a variety of end of trip facilities. A growing number of workplaces are providing enclosed bicycle parking, showers, lockers and change rooms, in an effort to encourage staff to ride to work.
Transport hubs and significant destinations, such as central business districts also offer an opportunity to provide end of trip facilities to encourage cycling.
The following set of documents outline important features of end of trip facilities as well as best practice case studies:
Are Cycle Centers Effective Transport Interventions? (Australia)

Allison Arieff, January 12, 2011, GOOD - Design
Cities across the country are seeing a dramatic rise in the number of bike riders on their streets (28% in New York City last year, for example). But with that good news comes the unfortunate fact of a corresponding rise in bicycle theft. Lacking the art and pathos of Italy's cinematic classic, The Bicycle Thief, the experience of getting one's wheels stolen is not only expensive, it's utterly depressing.
GreenTRIP
11th Jan 2011
