Choosing the
Right Bicycle Rack


Avoid these types of bike racks! They offer poor security and damage wheels.

Are you noticing bicycles locked to trees, posts and other fixed objects? Have you seen bicycles laying by your building entrance? Then, you're ready for a bike rack!

The two most important steps to take before you purchase are:

  • Choose a quality rack
  • Find a good location for the rack

A Quality Rack:

  • Meets your parking requirements
  • Is sturdy and secure enough to prevent bicycle theft
  • Compliments the surroundings
  • Is maintenance free
  • Will hold more than only the wheel

A Good Location:

  • Is as close as possible to the building without becoming an obstacle
  • Is in a lit and covered area
  • When applicable, check to see if your proposed mounting meets local city standards

Providing a quality rack and good location will not only reduce congestion and improve the appearance of the area, but it will also show cyclists their business is valued.
