Request a bicycle stand
A U-shaped bicycle stand (fietsbeugel or ‘fietsnietje’) is a bicycle rack which you can use to chain up your bike. Residents of an apartment complex without a basement storage unit or garage can ask the municipality for this type of bicycle rack.
- You can request U-shaped bicycle stands only for the pavement directly in front of the entrance to your apartment complex. The bicycle stands may not be in the way of emergency services, wheelchairs and baby carriages.
- Depending on your application and the available space, the municipality will place a maximum of 4 bicycle stands. Each stand can accommodate 2 bicycles.
- The bicycle stands will usually be placed in the public space and are therefore for general use.
Only residents of apartment complexes without an external storage space can request a bicycle stand. An external storage space is, for example, a basement storage unit or a garage.
- Request the bicycle stand using the Fietsbeugel application form. Print out the form, and complete it.
- You must check with other residents of your apartment complex if they also want bicycle parking. This will determine how many bicycle stands are needed. The other main tenants of the building must also sign the application form. This shows that they agree with the application for a bicycle stand.
- Send the form by post to the municipality (postal address is below).
- Send a sketch with your application. This should indicate where you would like to have the U-shaped bicycle stands.
