With this research study KiM Netherlands Institute for Transport Policy Analysis aims to provide greater insights into the combined use of bicycle and train and, more specifically, to garner insights into how bicycles are parked at train stations. The bicycle parking facilities at many large train stations are full (overfull), despite the fact that bicycle parking capacity has been expanded in recent years. There is a limit to expansion however, and consequently the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management requires more knowledge and fundamental understanding of (the growth of) bicycle-train use and what possible implications this could have in the coming years. Our study focuses on the choices that bicycle-train passengers make, both descriptive and analytical, from which information is obtained about the behaviour of bicycle-train passengers. Such information can help both to facilitate further growth and regulate bicycle parking pressure at train stations.
