Cycle stand at Putenalli

Our friends from RACF have put up a cycle stand at Puttenalli lake last year, here is an image of the same..

 

It is indeed a piorneering effort.

However request fellow cyclists to draw out the merits of this stand compared to the U stand put by Praja. It will help imrpove the design for the future..

The above stand looks like designed for a 10 cycle parking..similar to what we have at airlines hotel..

U stand vs others

The U design can park the same 10 with the added benefit of being able to lock wheel frame & even seat post if needed as it is high & spans both rear & front. Also the cost of the U stand is half of this one in the pic. The cost might be a factor of chosing a good vendor but the high U stand is unmistakable in the design benefits.
