Over the last few months, there has been a steady stream of photos and videos showcasing the world’s largest bicycle parking garage that opened in Amsterdam. This facility, which is completely free for daily use under 24 hours, and this massive investment by the municipal government, is not simply to benefit those who ride bicycles.
I think the 24 hours free is really crucial to actually get people cycling*, all the bike parking garages at train stations that i know in germany gets this wrong.
*edit: on trains really. Or out of cars.
