What Can Renters Do About Insufficient Bike Parking?

Attention D.C. renters!

Did you know that D.C. law requires building owners of 8+ residential units to provide bike parking after a written request from a tenant?

The District Department of Transportation’s Bike Parking Guide (page 6) states that there should be “the lesser of either one bicycle parking space for each three residential units; or enough bicycle parking to meet the requested demand”.

If you do not have a secure place to park your bike, consider sharing your request and the Bike Parking Guide with your property manager and ask that they contact MetroBike.

We can advise on location, type of parking, and do the installation. MetroBike works with multiple parking manufacturers to offer a variety of parking options, from inverted U racks to double-decker racks to Bike Barns — secure sheds to be installed outdoors when sufficient indoor space is not available.
