4. Flexible membership models.
Busy high-turnover sites are safer than empty ones. But most secure facilities only annual memberships - limiting their usage to just regular commuters.

3. Simple sign up processes.
While it's tempting to think you'll increase the number of cyclists at your station by reducing friction, a sign up process means you'll know who is using your facility.
A brazen thief will now have to submit their info before stealing a bike.

2. Digital access control systems.
Installing an access control system (ACS) means entrances are tracked and recorded.
Not only is this handy for security - your cycle parking facility will now collect usage data & provide you with unique transport behaviour insights.

1. Install genuinely secure cycle parking infrastructure that works for long-stays.
Exposed bike racks work for short stays.
For anything longer than a few hours, regular users need hubs or lockers.
