Description:	Bike theft needs to be urgently addressed, since it is a deterrent to cycle use as an integral part of an urban transport solution. This paper uses visual research to place bicycle parking within the streetscape in the context of ‘crime prevention through environmental design’. It looks at a number of cycle-parking case studies (featuring both established and emergent schemes) located in the UK and elsewhere in Europe, and offers observations on the design, the functionality and, ultimately, the effectiveness of these diverse cycle-parking provisions.
