Two bicycle parking spaces per apartment set to become new European norm
ecf.com
ECF strongly welcomes the provisional agreement on the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive which sets, for the very first time, European minimum bicycle parking norms for virtually all types of buildings, both residential as well as non-residential.

I think this is a big deal:

  • all new apartment buildings in UE should have 2 bike parkings per apartment

  • Non residential buildings should have a significant amount of bike parkings. Existing buildings with more than 20 parking spaces would be forced to implement significant amount of bike parkings. I just hope they won’t install the"dish drainer" bike parking kind everywhere!

    I wish my (very new) apartment complex had already had to follow this… massive underground garage with like 140 car parking spaces and there’s a pitiful 2 small bike parking things that fit maybe 25 each. For I believe it was 131 apartments.

    Needless to say there are a lot of bicycles standing disorganized on the car parking space next to the insufficient bike parking, lol

    And, great shock, dozens of car parking spaces seem to be vacant, because people living in a building that is literally 15s by foot from a bus station, where you can also cycle 3km to get to the city center, do not average more than 1 car per apartment.
