Redistribution vehicles must be able to legally stop within 15 metres of the station to maintain it and distribute bicycles. Line of sight must be maintained between station and vehicle. Loading and parking bays are the preferred location for stopping. A preferred minimum clear footway of 2,000mm in width must be maintained. Clearance of 450mm must be maintained from the carriageway. Docking points or terminals cannot be installed over utility covers however bicycles can be docked over covers. Site footprint is required to have sufficient drainage to prevent ponding. A vertical height clearance of 2,800mm is required for terminal and installation. No loss of trees or grassed areas. Minimal relocation of existing street furniture, including existing cycle stands. User safety Existing usage Public access Terminal power Foundations Road safety audits Lease Connecting to existing cycle routes in the area Safe and secure areas with good natural surveillance and street lighting. Avoid areas of high pedestrian congestion and areas known to be unsuitable for cyclists. Docking stations must be accessible to the public 24 hours a day, 365-days-a-year, ie they must be on public highway or land where the public have a right to unfettered access. Terminal power is obtained from UK Power Networks (UKPN) via a feeder pillar located near the docking station. Typically feeder pillars are installed on the public highway and trenched to the terminal. The maximum foundation depth required for a docking station is 450mm and maximum width is 700mm. All sites will be subject to a full road safety audit. A lease/agreement is required between TfL and the landowner, ideally at nil cost. Sites should be located near existing cycle routes for users to continue their journey. Pedestrian/cycle/ vehicular flows Sufficient space to maintain clear pedestrian/ cycle/vehicular paths.

Based on our five years of experience operating Mayor’s Cycle Hire Scheme in London, it has been found that 27 docking points is the best operational number at the majority of locations. Stations of this size require much less redistribution and have higher bike and space availability for users’ convenience. Please note there is a six-month lead time for all infrastructure to be manufactured and delivered. Terminal Each docking station has a payment and registration terminal which allows users to: • Print a record of their journey • Print cycle release code • Find other docking stations if one is full or empty • See a local street map, costs and code of conduct • Buy 24-hour access for up to four cycles • Get extra time if user needs to return their cycle to another docking station should the docking station be full The terminal displays Legible London style mapping to assist wayfinding for cyclists and pedestrians. Legible London mapping is the only mapping used to ensure uniformity across the scheme and maintain ease of use. Docking points • Docking points release and secure bikes • Members insert key to release bikes • Non-members must retrieve a code and enter the digits into the keypad Terminal • Height: 2400mm • Width of wide face: 500mm • Width of slim face: 350mm Figure 222: A cycle hire payment and registration terminal Docking point • Height: 792mm • Width of bottom: 300mm • Width of top: 225mm Figure 223: Docking points without bikes
