“Are we practising what we preach?” MPs call for more secure cycle parking on parliamentary estate “Imagine if people became used to politicians sweeping through the gates of Parliament on a bicycle rather than hidden away in vehicles” cycling
, Drummond and Hamilton argued that this Commons-wide “show of support” for active travel was a recognition of the environmental and health benefits it can bring.
According to the two MPs, at a recent meeting with the parliamentary estate team, one colleague even recounted that she was the victim of an attempted bike theft which left her lock badly damaged. “Imagine if people became used to politicians sweeping through the gates of Parliament on a bicycle rather than hidden away in vehicles. Security will always understandably be an important consideration, but if the prime minister of the Netherlands can travel by bike, then surely others can.”
“Additional provision is always welcome, but the parliamentary estate is mostly well provided for with secure parking available in Star Chamber Court and next to Richmond House for people coming in by Derby Gate,” Jack Gebhard, who has undertaken several bikepacking trips, including the North Coast 500 and a cross-Europe tour from Dunkirk to Istanbul, told road.cc.
