‘HSR is the only layout in India to have comprehensive cycle parking’

About 14 locations for cycle stands have begun to function from today – four more locations will be ready for primetime in a fortnight. That’s a total of 55 stands where 110 cycles can be parked at any given time in HSR Layout.
This is great news for all the cycle enthusiasts in HSR Layout, which even have a full-fledged group called HSR Cyclists Forum powering this community and all the associated initiatives like Cycle Day, cycle tracks, cycle rentals and now cycle stands.

Here is where you can find the cycle stands on Google Maps. But suffice it to say that all the usual locations are covered, be it CPWD Quarters, NIFT and Juice Junction on 27th Main Road or Born Babies on 22nd Cross or Agara Bus Stand and BDA Complex.
“HSR is proud to be the only locality in the entire country to have comprehensive cycle parking with ART theme across 14 locations for parking 100 cycles,” says Shashidhara K, the founder of HSR Cyclists Group and the person behind this initiative. “The other four location stands are ready, but they are not art-themed stands, just standard loop designs. The installations will be done in the next two weeks.”
For the majority of the stands, the graphic themes are used to represent specific location activity. “For example, the cycle stands near restaurants on 27th main represent glass, juice, water droplet, lemon and so on,” says Shashidhara. “Active locations like BBMP grounds have designs of cycles. Similarly Born Babies road and BDA Complex areas have a flower theme to represent babies store, and flowering trees. NIFT college represents a musical theme, with music notes and an equalizer.” These ideas were conceptualised and executed by HSR Cyclists Group and ‘Art&’ team (artand.in). Importantly, these cycle stands support three-point locking, where cyclists can lock the wheels and the frame.
