Does Your Location Need Bike Parking?
As bicycling grows throughout our region, so does the need for reliable end-of-trip facilities. Bicycle Colorado and Boulder County Public Health (in partnership with the City of Longmont) are separately providing bike parking services for our community.  Currently, businesses and multifamily housing properties are the only entities eligible to receive free bike racks, but members of the public are welcome to suggest locations for bike racks. For more information visit BicycleColorado.org/initiatives/bike-parking, email info@pacepartners.com, or use the hashtag #BoCoBikeRacks on social media with details about where you would like to see a bike rack.
