Planning Your Bike Corral For Your City

Converting car parking stalls into bike parking corrals is fast becoming the go green option in communities across the country

. Cities can reduce the number of bikes that clutter downtown sidewalks, which often impede on pedestrian walkway space, as bikes are commonly found tipped over or intruding onto common walkways.

On average, cities can convert one car space into 10 bike parking spaces. By doing so, this will:

Financially benefit businesses

Allow sidewalk seating options

Lessen toxic motor vehicle emissions

Promote healthy living

Encourage bicycling as a viable means of transportation

As you begin your planning for on street bicycle parking, we must first note a few key points and opportunities to best make your project a success.

Streets where bike corrals are being installed are not flat and often have slopes, most commonly to the curb, for water runoff. So why is this issue? Unlike cars, bikes don't have parking brakes or the ability to turn their wheel to contact a curb as a safety measure. Therefore, bikes front wheels can slip and slide, causing bikes to tip and fall over.

A solution you can offer bicyclists is a rack that docks their bike. Park a Bike starts every Corral with its Varsity Bike Dock.

The Varsity Bike Dock allows your bike parking to be organized and contained and the bikes won't be susceptible to sliding or slipping with elevation changes in the street as they commonly do with older style racks.

Our patented wheel trough design controls the bike's footprint.The angle of the troughs helps offset handlebars to avoid handlebar conflict, and our hardened steel locking loops provide the highest level of security while offering bike parkers the feasibility of locking their front wheel and frame to the dock.

Everything about the Varsity Bike Docks is made for the end user.

Once the configurations of docks are set, choose your perimeter. We can go as contained as our "Roundup Bike Corral", as intuitive as our best-selling "PitStop Bike Corral" or as ornamental as you would like it to be. Once we start with the proper bike docks at the core, the rest is a ride in the park.
