Bikestation: Berkeley (2:39)

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

Dave Campbell of the Bicycle-Friendly Berkeley Coalition gives us a quick tour of the Berkeley Bikestation where bike parking is safe and free. This is just one of many innovative bike parking facilities on the West Coast that NYC could implement at key transit hubs like Penn Station, Grand Central, the Staten Island Ferry and Atlantic Avenue Terminal.

  1. great video - and nice facility. wish we had more of them.

    p.s. it would help to have a narrow ramp at the edge of the stairs to help roll the bikes up and down, but still out of the way of walkers using the hand rail.

  2. Awesome! All they need is a bike gutter for the stairs.

  5. There is also a bike station at Fruitvale Bart in Oakland! We’re a little hard to find, located at North end othe village near the E 12th St. parking lots.

  6. What a great way to avoid taking a car to the station! I’d consider moving to Berkeley just to see Dave. Is he single? :)
