Where would you like to park the bike?

Last year, many new bike-parkings where place in Szczecin (Poland), thanks to the organization Rowerowy Szczecin, who got funds from Norway.

This year, they are back again with the same proposal.

But, before placing the racks, the City Council wants to know where they are needed, so they will be effective and used by cyclists. For this purpose, Rowerowy Szczecin has created a map , with the title "Place Your Parking Reactivation", where citizens can place their wish, and set where they would like (or need) to have a parking for bikes.

As the local newspaper Moje Miasto says:

Each added point should include the exact location, a brief description of the site and the proposed number of stands and a photo.

Certainly, those initiatives, envolving the City Council, the Cyclist Organizations and the citizens (who really are the final users) are realy needed and always welcome, because they help the Administration to do the things in the right way. What for we need bike racks where nobody will use them? Place them wisely and it will be a success.
