This research stems from a research gap found in residential bicycle parking, and focuses on the attributes, user preferences and planning conflicts that characterise residential bicycle parking in newly built multi-apartment buildings in Stockholm. Data were collected through a Semi-systematic literature review, Site visits composed of Inventories and User interviews, and Expert interviews. A Triangulation between these three methods was then employed to draw a comprehensive picture of the current status of residential bicycle parking in the study area.What emerged, is that despite bicycles are parked at home for most of the time, residential bicycle parking is often overlooked in the planning and construction process of residential areas and in related policy-making. The current focus in the City of Stockholm (Stockholms Stad) is almost solely put on quantity in the form of residential bicycle parking minimums, while user preferences and quality attributes, particularly in regards to accessibility, are not met. The notable complexity of aspects that characterise bicycle parking emerged from the Semi-systematic literature review, but the Site visits and Expert interviews highlighted how such complexity is not considered in the field, reducing residential bike parking to a non-prioritised building function.The two main issues with residential bike parking are found to be connected to spatial and financial constraints, therefore collective improvements are needed in the provision of bicycle parking at residential locations, from all involved domains: academic, policy, practice and business. Increased research from the academic domain should facilitate better policies that address the root problems causing poor residential bicycle parking solutions. Said policy changes should then influence the practice and business domains in the actual implementation of residential bicycle parking solutions, while user preferences should always be taken into account.
