Short-Term Bike Parking

Short-Term Bike Parking Guidelines

• Should be visible from, and close to, the entrance it serves. Usually within 50 feet.
• May be used by infrequent visitors, so the bike parking should be self-explanatory and easy to use.
• Locating in areas of high pedestrian activity, and in lighted areas, can discourage vandalism or theft.
• Covered bike racks can encourage use.
• Short-term bike parking is also known as Class II bike parking (or Class 2, or Class Two).
