54 ~ CiTY OF SAN LEANDRO BiCYCLE & PEDESTRiAN MASTER PLAN <br />Bicycle parking located inside the Berkeley Bike Station near the Downtown Berkeley BART <br />Station. <br />Bike lockers outside of the San Leandro BART Station. <br />Bicycle Parking <br />Secure bike parking is a necessity for promoting bicycle use, especially for <br />utilitarian trips. People will not cycle to shop, work, or school without a safe <br />place to store their bicycle. Bicycle parking, in the form of bicycle racks, is <br />available at public schools, parks and many other trip attractions. The type of <br />bicycle parking provided at a destination should reflect the type of parking <br />demand expected at the location, i.e. whether facilities are needed for short- <br />term or long-term parking. For example, a shopping mall will need short-term <br />parking for shoppers as well as long-term parking for employees. Bicycle <br />parking categories are defined below. <br />Long-Term Bicycle Parking <br />This is parking that protects the entire bicycle and its components from theft, <br />vandalism and the weather. Long-term parking is suitable for a few hours of <br />use up to a full day and is usually found at employment or transit centers. <br />Some long-term installations can also be appropriate for overnight parking, <br />if needed. Examples include bike lockers, bike cages or rooms (locked areas <br />with access for regular users), guarded parking areas (such as bike racks near a <br />parking garage attendant), and valet parking (a bike station). Long-term parking <br />is found at the downtown San Leandro and Bay Fair BART stations. Long-term <br />parking requires more space and is more expensive than short-term parking, <br />but provides greater security from theft. <br />192
