Hi Steve,
I spoke with DK our bicycle coordinator regarding the placement of the bicycle racks for the dental office
on Timberline.
There are a few items to consider.
1) Are bicycles allowed in building for employees. This could eliminate the bike rack on the west for
employees.
2) The habits of bicyclists are to park as close to the entrance of their destination as possible. When no
bicycle racks are provided at entrances, bicyclists lean their bike against the buildings and lock the bikes
to themselves, or lock their bikes to a nearby tree or sign.
3) A concern for bicyclists is the security of their bicycles. A bicyclist will prefer to park their bicycle in a
visible, noticeable location to avoid theft.
4) We recommend a few locations be considered for the location of the bicycle racks. See attachment.
-Primary location would be directly nearest the entrance
-Secondary location could be location near entrance on east side of building on a concrete pad
-third location could be location near entrance on south side of building.
There are many attractive bicycle racks available. One low profile option could be the U shaped rack
providing parking for 2 bicycles. There are also clever bicycle rack themes that could be manufactured.
See examples attached.
