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!
