What is long-term bike parking and what does it cost?
Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Stays of several hours or longer – as is the case for employees or apartment residents – require bike parking that provides security and weather protection. Flexible options for long-term parking include a locked storage room, a sheltered space behind a store, an enclosed bicycle locker, or a bike rack within view of a parking garage attendant. Residents of apartments, lofts or condos, need secure indoor parking to keep their bikes safe and dry overnight. Long-term parking can be as simple as a locked storage room with ready access to the street. Even a small space – the area under a stairwell, a closet, or dead space in a hallway – can provide parking for several bikes. Long-term parking costs range from near zero for access to an existing storage room, to installing parking racks in a garage ($120 for two bicycles), to installing an enclosed bicycle locker at a cost of approximately $1,000 for two bicycles.
