Learn to Build Better Bike Parking and Earn 1.5 LU/HSW Hours
More people are riding bikes and, obviously, that means more people parking bikes too. Admittedly, bike parking is not as sexy as bike riding. However, there is a real pressure building for quality start/end of trip facilities. On Friday, September 4th we’re holding a workshop to discuss building bike parking in these changing times.
Architects, developers, building managers and City Zoning Codes across the city are rising to the challenge and reaping the economic, environmental, and public health benefits brought by more bicycling. The workshop will explore how they’re building healthier, more connected communities by creating bike parking facilities that are secure, accessible, space efficient, cost saving, and might we even say, sexy. Join in!
Ryan Deto at the Pittsburgh City Paper has covered the story.

Bike garages have become increasingly trendy in cities as of late, with East Liberty getting one as part of the new East Liberty Transit Center.
