外刊阅读：The world's largest bicycle
共享单车流行以后，很多人会骑车到地铁站换乘地铁。但是地铁站旁边停的自行车实在太多，常常会占据人行道和非机动车道，严重影响交通。在荷兰也有类似的问题，他们特地修建了大型室内自行车停车场。
The world's largest bicycle park
by Lizzie Crook
Ector Hoogstad Architecten has completed a three-storey bicycle park to store 12,656 bikes below Utrecht Central Station in the Netherlands.
storey /ˈstɔːri/ n. 一层楼
park /pɑːk/ n. 停车场
store /stɔː(r)/ v. 存放
the Netherlands /ˈneðələndz/ 荷兰（西欧国家）
The project forms part of a wider redevelopment of the area surrounding the city's railway station, and is designed to enable cyclists to ride from the street level to the bike store, from which they can quickly access the station. It is hoped to encourage locals to commute using bikes and public transport instead of cars, and in turn ease congestion in Utrecht and make it a more sustainable city.

"Our integrated, comfortable bicycle parking is the answer to a major problem in the inner cities of our urban communities worldwide: pollution and logistic（物流的） indigestion（消化不良）," explained the Rotterdam architecture studio.

Ector Hoogstad Architecten won a competition to design the bike park at Utrecht Central Station in 2011. The first phase was finished in August of 2017, opening with space for 6,000 bikes. Now complete, the bike park accommodates three levels of underground stores for 12,656 bicycles – overtaking the world's former largest bike parking lot in Tokyo that houses 9,000.

complete /kəmˈpliːt/ adj. 完全的、完整的
accommodate /əˈkɒmədeɪt/ v. 容纳
underground /ˌʌndəˈɡraʊnd/ adj. 位于地下的（由under和ground组成）

Alongside the storage, the structure incorporates a repair service and bicycle hire outlet. It also relies on a digital system to guide cyclists to a parking spot that provides the quickest access to the platforms.

Above ground, Utrecht Central Station stands alongside an improved street layout and a public plaza topped by a white honeycomb-like canopy（顶篷）. This also provides access to an adjacent shopping centre. The three-storey bike parking sits directly below, accessed by pink cycle lanes that continue down inside and wrap around the edges of the structure.

plaza /ˈplɑːzə/ n. 开阔地、广场

"The building is more than just infrastructure," added Ector Hoogstad Architecten. "It adds an exciting and surprising architectural dimension to the city. Cycling through the garage has become a unique experience; not just another part of everyday life in the city, but almost an attraction in its own right."

The bike lanes weave between the building's giant concrete columns and slope gently to connect the parking across three levels. They are also colour-coded to guide cyclists through the space and to their allocated lot.
weave /wiːv/ v. 编织（这里指不断改变方向前进）
giant /ˈdʒaɪ(ə)nt/ adj. 巨大的

allocate /ˈæləkeɪt/ v. 分配、分派
Each parking spot branches off from the cycle paths, designed to provide plenty of space for people to dismount（下车） from their bikes without getting in the way of other cyclists. "The concept is about speed and safety. The layout allows to separate pedestrians and cyclists intuitively（直观地） while approaching the station's entrance."
branch /brɑːntʃ/ v. 分叉、分岔
in the way 挡路、挡道
concept /ˈkɒnsept/ n. 概念
safety /ˈseɪfti/ n. 安全
