This presentation summarizes research on improving the quality of bicycle parking facilities in Dordrecht, Netherlands. The researcher conducted surveys and photographs of bicycle racks across the city, finding that most public racks failed to meet standards for ease of use, security, and durability. While the city invested in parking for cars and buses, it neglected bicycle infrastructure elsewhere. The presentation aims to raise awareness among officials and influence cycling policy to expand focus beyond the city center.
