New York City is moving the pedals on building 500 hubs for secure bicycle parking across the city over the next five years.
has opened a request for proposals seeking a vendor to operate the network of secure bike parking spots, which officials contend would boost urban cycling by assuaging fears of bike theft.
“This initiative will support continued growth in cycling by addressing a key barrier to bike ownership: the lack of access to secure bike storage.” The agency says it has plans to install enclosed, lockable curbside hubs in various sizes, with space for 10-12 bikes in residential areas while those near transit hubs and commercial areas would serve more bikes and feature charging infrastructure. Also on the table are large, Citi Bike-esque “self-locking racks” where people can store their bikes., the Holland Tunnel, and Grand Central. The company also has contracts to operate bike parking networks in Jersey City and Minneapolis.
