New Southtown Bike Rack Joins Subway Bike Rack- Take the NYC Bike Rack Survey

Riverwalk Bike Rack

Subway Bike Rack

In addition to the subway bike rack, there is now a new bike rack placed between Riverwalk buildings 3 and 4.

If you are interested in bike transportation issues here is New York bike rack parking survey designed by:
two Hunter College graduate students working with the NYC Department of City Planning Transportation Division to improve our understanding of the public’s bike parking needs and current bike parking resources. This survey is designed to engage YOU in the decision making process as the city ramps up its efforts to install thousands of new bicycle racks and other bicycle parking facilities throughout the five boroughs within the next few years.
UPDATE 3/14 -NY Times reports the NYC Department of Transportation:
is pushing to modernize the city’s bike racks through an open international design competition, the winners of which will be part of an exhibition at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in October.
