Strip District Bike Parking?

Hello, I'm going to cirque du soleil tonight and was wondering if anyone knows of bike parking inside any of the parking garages in the strip? Perhaps that one above (what used to be) Right By Nature or the Cork Factory?

There are BikePGH three rivers-type racks along 21st and in front of Right By Nature on the sidewalk.

+1 erok. I'm missing that place more than I thought I would.

it would be cool if you could get a centralized bike parking lot type thing in the strip. I always end up locking to a meter, etc.

I miss RBN too...


@Caitlin, that's a great idea

Put a bike corral on 21st street in front of Chicken Latino? It's a wide one-way city street that has meters on one side and a No Parking/Loading Zone on the other.

At Chicken Latino, I've always just locked to the iron fence alongside that church.


@sloaps - Three 3R bike racks are nice, but that only handles the first six bikes.


I think we need to be thinking about being able to handle 30 bikes at any one time.

21st Street is prime for this kind of treatment in several different places.


In fact…



(crude 2 minute screengrab with work, but I think it gets the idea across)

Would love to see it cleaned up a bit more at that intersection somehow. Deadly as it stands.
