Bike Parking at Camden Yards
[There is no doubt that being a community we can get things done. Please join in this effort to improve bike parking at Camden Yards. (Letter written by a fellow bicycling advocate.)]
I’m writing to ask for improved bicycle parking at Camden Yards.
I usually arrive at O’s games by bicycle. I appreciate the bike parking provided near the Orioles ticket booth, but would ask that you consider providing additional, more secure bike racks.
The current bike rack fills up before most games and the old “wheel bender” design is not as compatible and secure with modern quick release wheels and U-Locks.
I have enclosed two bicycle parking guides for your reference, bike racks are inexpensive and easy to install, but like everything, details matter.
Bike Parking is one step toward reducing traffic, and building a more active, healthy community. Thank you in advance for your efforts.
See you at the ballpark!
PS. The Nationals, Giants and Cubs offer valet bicycle parking
