In order to promote cycling in city centres, while also clamping down on theft, one currently popular solution is to build large underground parking facilities.

The latest example can be found in Utrecht, in the Netherlands. A parking garage with space for up to 900 bicycles has just opened in the basement of the prestigious House Modernes mall.

House Modernes recently reopened after a long period of renovation. The building now includes a special facility for cyclists.

From this underground parking garage, cyclists can evidently access the various stores in the mall, but also stroll around the city centre before returning to pick up their bike and go home.
