On 15 October 2021, Utrecht Deputy Mayor Lot van Hooijdonk festively opened the new bicycle parking House Modernes with visitors. Together with the newly furnished House Modernes building the inner city gets a new landmark with modern bicycle parking facilities. From the bicycle parking you can step right into one of the many (new) stores in the heart of the city center.
With space for 900 bicycles, the House Modernes bicycle parking facility is the largest municipal facility in the city center. It is a modern facility where you can park any type of bicycle (including cargo bikes or bikes with a crate), but you can also rent baby carriages and see how many spaces are still available on the digital signage system.

This is for people who need their bikes protected so they're not stolen, I take it? Otherwise, why wouldn't I just put my bike right in front of the building I want to go to?

In some of the historical centres in the Netherlands there is not much space left to all park in front of the shops, we need that space for a good quality of the public space and walking around/terraces/etc.. :) So more and more smaller and bigger cities are investing in quality bike parking around the centre. It is mainly used for people shopping for a few hours or working in the offices close by, and people with more expensive bikes as well. In the case of Utrecht it is also not allowed to cycle in the inner circle of the centre. It takes time to get used to use the space in the city centre differently, people are of course not used to it right sway, but it will definitly help to try to keep the centre accesible for people. - Simone

@@TheSimone9899 I totally get not wanting cars in the cities, but banning bicycles is silly. They are a quiet, quick and safe way to get around, and should be encouraged as much as possible.
