I bought a new bike in this past fall. I LOVE my bike. It’s the most expensive bike I’ve ever purchased and it rides like a dream. The problem is, I love my expensive bike so much, I’m afraid to park it on the street as I ride around!!! During the week I bike ride as part of my work day commute. But, while I take the train into the next state over, my bike is safe and sound in the Washington, DC Bikestation. Then when I want to hang out after work, I usually leave my bike parked and the bike station and walk or take the Metro to meet friends. That sorta defeats the purpose of having a bike. It is, after all, my main source of transportation.
Maybe, if more places had a bike vault like the one below I’d be more like to ride more places in the DC.
The historic Spalding Building in downtown Portland has what might be the coolest indoor bike parking in the city. Tenants of the 12-floor office building get to roll their commute vehicles into what used to be a bank vault that’s capped by an immense 16,000 pound door. You can read the full story on the here.
