Bicycle Parking

A Bike-Parking Protected Bike Lane Grows in Manhattan

A few years ago, it was a pretty big deal when on-street bike parking was installed in any city.  Though it is always welcome news, today it hardly merits a mention.

But you can find another milestone on the protected bike lane on Ninth Avenue (which was NYC's first), where three bike corrals have been installed between 36th and 40th Streets. Replacing car parking in the floating lane with bike parking is definitely a first for New York City, and it's quite possibly the first example in the United States.

We found that small businesses seem to love them already, as you can see in this short report.
