This is an accessible cycle parking spot.

It's designed so you can cycle in and cycle out out of it.

It has a lower bar to lock to as adapted cycles often have lower frames than standard two wheel bikes.

It's also clearly demarcated as being reserved for disabled cyclists. This means we don't have to negotiate using busy racks where other bikes might be obstacles.

This was implemented at the University of Manchester, UK.

@TricycleMayor Harrie, that’s a great explanation. When I previously saw this example I’d clocked the need for the larger space, but hadn’t thought about the position allowing space to cycle in and out without being dismounted, or the lower bar to lock a step-through or recumbent frame to. These absolutely need to be written into planning legislation.
