Get More Bike Parking
Know an indoor parking garage that would be a great place to park your bike?
The City Department of Transportation will give private parking garages free
racks. Tell the garage manager to call the City Racks program at 212-442-7705
and also report the location and the garage contacts to T.A. (212-629-8080).
Get Bike Access to Office
Buildings
Ask the head building manager at your workplace what the bike access policy
is. If they do not allow bikes and cite insurance company restrictions, find
out the name of the insurance company and request a copy of the bike
restrictions. Send the info to T.A.
