While America’s largest cities have demonstrated large bicycling populations for many years now, cycling is becoming more and more common in the smaller cities of America as well.

When these cyclists arrive at your building or facility and don’t find a bike parking rack available, even the most visible or well-lit parking lots will not be safe for these bicycle commuters. Popular vlogger Casey Neistat performed an experiment where he “stole” his own bicycle in broad daylight to see if anyone would stop him. Despite attempting to look like an obvious thief, with power tools to manipulate the bike lock in plain sight, he succeeded each time, even directly in front of the police station. With bicycles already so vulnerable to theft, imagine how impossible it would be to keep a bicycle safe without a proper bike rack installed for safe locking.
Bike Racks Which Accommodate U-Locks
The safest bike locks available are sturdy u-locks. While tougher than chain locks, these versions are less flexible and can be difficult to fit around all bike rack styles, especially those which attempt to fit high bicycle capacities.
