Bikeoff contributes to Bicycle Parking Manual for Spain |
 |
|
 |
 |
“Manual de aparcamientos de bicicletas” | IDAE – BACC | 2009
Bikeoff/ Marcus Willcocks have consulted on, and contributed advice, text and visual content to a new Bicycle Parking Manual, authored by BACC, that was first presented at the recent Seville conference for the Public Bicycle. The manual, published in Castellano, is the first of its kind, directed at cycle parking and built-environment stakeholders, authorities and specifiers, throughout Spain. It was funded by the Spanish Institute for Energy Saving and Diversification (IDAE) and the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Commerce. A pdf of the manual can be downloaded here. Bikeoff’s ongoing exchange with BACC and other cycle user and cycle security groups in Spain and other parts of Europe allowed them to draw on their research and in-practice experience to make informed contributions to the publication.
