康橋國際學校林口總務部 (DGA) 於 2023 年 3 月 1 日實施了自行車擺放規定。

The Department of General Affairs (DGA) at Kang Chiao International School Linkou has implemented a bike parking regulation effective March 1st, 2023.

這項新規定要求學生和教職員工申請數量有限的自行車位，而且要有駐車架才有資格申請。

This new regulation requires students and staff to apply for a limited number of bike parking spaces given that they meet the qualifications of having a kick stand or a bike rack.

總務部並沒有表明為什麼要設立這項新規定，而其原因對師生而言並不明顯。

No explanation as to why this new regulation was put in place was given, and the problem that one would assume this is addressing is not obvious.

雖然沒有明確的原因，但這項規定已經產生了很多問題。

Although there is no clear initial problem, this regulation has created many.

新停車規定：

The new parking regulation:

• 不鼓勵健康生活習慣,
  discourages healthy, active behavior,
• 抑制綠色交通，
  inhibits green transportation,
• 使學校顯得矛盾（聲稱提倡健康但又設立此規定)，以及
  gives the school an appearance of hypocrisy (claiming to promote the former whilst doing the opposite with this regulation), and
• 使想要騎自行車上下課的學生和教職員工中造成困惑與不便。
  creates confusion and frustration amongst students and staff who may want to commute by bicycle.

騎自行車通勤：
Commuting by bike:

• 改善健康，
  improves health,
• 是最省錢的交通方式之一，
  is one of the most economically wise forms of transportation,
• 減少道路擁擠，以及
  decreases road congestion, and
• 是最環保的交通方式之一。
  is one of the most environmentally friendly forms of transportation.

這項新規定造成無法申請停車位的人, 沒辦法無法選擇騎自行車上學，如果停車位持有人不遵守特定（且看似無用）的規定，反而可能會多加懲處。
This new bike parking regulation prevents non-parking space holders from choosing to bike to school and creates potential forms of punishment for parking space holders if they do not follow the specific (and seemingly useless) regulation.

學校也因此在浪費資源來實施這項不必要的規定。
The school has also been wasting resources to implement this unnecessary regulation.

每週校方會印數十張紙條並貼在自行車上，對違反規定的人發出警告。 這會產生浪費，並且又反環保。
Dozens of paper slips are being printed and taped to bicycles each week to inform cyclists of the new regulation and issue warnings for violating it. This creates waste and is again anti-environmental.

派人影印又貼黏這些警告信，以及每天檢查是否有遵守該規定，也是人力資源的浪費。
It is also a waste of human resources having someone print and tape these warning letters as well as having someone check daily that this regulation is being followed.

學校應該提倡騎自行車, 為每年一次的菁英活動 (例如騎車環台) 做加強。
The school should instead go beyond the one epic activity per year, such as the bike tour around Taiwan, and promote commuting by bike.

很多 G10 學生騎車環台，KCIS 應該有很大部分的學生是可以騎自行車的，甚至可以騎很長的距離。 因此，學校應繼續鼓勵學生和教職工騎自行車上學，以促進健康日常生活和騎自行車。 校園內大量的自行車可以當成學校的一個宣傳點。
By having all G10 students bike around Taiwan, KCIS is sure that a large percentage of the student body has access to bikes and the ability to ride even long distances. The school should therefore continue to promote daily healthy living and cycling by encouraging students and staff to cycle to school. Then the large number of bikes on campus could be a strong promotional point to the school.

為此，學校不應限制在學校停放自行車，而應安裝更多的自行車架，因此提升學生和教職工上下學的能力，並將自行車整齊又安全地停放在校園內。
To do this, rather than limiting access to bike parking at school, the school should install more bike racks and increase students' and staff's ability to commute to school and park their bikes neatly and safely on campus.
