The City has had fairly robust rules since 2002 regarding new office buildings with new builds needing to provide a minimum of 1 parking space per 250 square metres. This has resulted in a steady increase of available bike parking spaces in the last few years with nearly 7000 spaces added since 2008. The City of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyoffices.com\/blog\/business-advice-and-news\/cost-of-office-space-in-london\">London estimates it has 20,000 off-street bike parking spaces amongst its many Offices<\/a>, which works out at 1 bike space per 18 workers in the Square Mile.<\/p>\n<p>There are plans to increase this capacity even further in the near future. The new plan, to be approved in 2014, plans a minimum requirement of one bike parking space per 125 square metres, double the current limit. Before all the cyclists break out the water bottle with a celebratory squirt, The City of Westminster already has a policy in place to provide 1 space per 125 and has done since 2007. Whilst the City of London&#8217;s move is welcomed, there is clearly a long way to go yet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyoffices.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Birmingham_BrindleyPlace_Ext_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-8771\" title=\"Serviced Offices\" src=\"http:\/\/www.easyoffices.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Birmingham_BrindleyPlace_Ext_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"207\" height=\"137\" \/><\/a>Cambridge, a biking hotspot where you&#8217;re more likely to be mown down by a Librarian or Student with a shopper than you are by a mum in Chelsea with a Range Rover, insists on a staggering 1 bike space per 30 square metres and additionally must provide decent visitor bike parking.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think, what more can Councils and Office Companies do for &#8216;Commuters on 2 wheels?&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Office Workers in The City of London are increasingly taking to 2 wheels for their daily commute into work.
