Bicycle Advocacy Organizations
It's next to impossible to stay current with with every city in America's bike rack requirements and bike parking guidelines. So when you're looking for a specific city's bike parking codes or best practices, we typically suggest one of two resources.
The first is library.municode.com
Use the interactive map or search on this website to quickly find the Code of Ordinances for the desired municipality. You can then drill down into each Chapter or search within the ordinances for specific terms and phrases.
The second resource we recommend are local bicycle advocacy organizations. They can usually provide you with a variety of local bike parking regulations as well as best practice recommendations.
Find a list of bicycle advocacy organizations throughout the country, listed by state, below.
