Product specification<br />

Short-stay parking in the form of footwaymounted<br />

cycle parking stands is the standard<br />

facility for the TLRN.<br />

The Sheffield (or inverted U) stand offers a<br />

simple, durable and cost effective tubular design,<br />

enabling the frame of the cycle and both wheels<br />

to be secured. These stands are the default<br />

option for the TLRN, assuming the following<br />

criteria are satisfied:<br />

Cycle parking stand design criteria<br />

Distance between legs 700-800mm<br />

Crossbeam height 700-800mm<br />

Tube diameter<br />

50mm<br />

Tapping rail height above 100mm±25mm<br />

footway<br />

Tapping rail width Equal to the tube<br />

diameter of the<br />

stand up to a<br />

maximum of 75mm<br />

M-profile stands are also now accepted for use<br />

on the TLRN, but should not be considered the<br />

default option as they have a more intrusive<br />

presence within the public realm than the<br />

Sheffield style.<br />

Colour<br />

The colour of the cycle stand should generally<br />

match the street furniture standards: black<br />

nylon-coated stands are standard on the TLRN,<br />

and stainless steel may be used following<br />

approval from the SDRG. However, there is some<br />

flexibility with regards to selecting cycle stands<br />

that are deemed appropriate for the context,<br />

such that stainless steel may be considered for<br />

areas adjacent to stations or new developments.<br />

Visibility bands should contrast with the colour<br />

of the main body of the stand: signal grey<br />

reflective banding on black stands; black banding<br />

on stainless steel.
