Abstract
The main aim of this paper is to analyse forms of chosen bicycle parks in the context of railway station plazas. When many scientific texts deal with integration rail and bicycle transport, there is still lack in knowledge about creating urban spaces by bicycles. It turns out that it is possible to linking utilitarian transport function with attractive plaza space, and bicycle infrastructure have important role in this transformation. Investigated examples show that bicycle dedicated facilities can enrich and improve stations forecourts. They make station plazas not only functional and nice place to go, but also a kind of entertaining playground for travellers (e.g. Groningen, Lillestrøm). Moreover, exposed, large bicycle parks (up to 3 000 spaces) can act like an attractive and interactive part of fore courts (Copenhagen, Amsterdam). Cyclist dedicated facilities can also create plaza frontages by filling in difficult plots or give character to the entire place (Asker, Alphen aan den Rijn). Bicycle parks occupy less precious urban space than car ones and are easier and more affordable. As a result, it can contribute to the raise of quality of sometimes grim station surroundings and above all, promote multimodal transport by their extravagant architectural form.
