Union Station offers new bike parking station
My husband Doug, a frequent commuter from Baltimore to Washington, just snapped a photo of the new bike parking in Union Station. It's got lockers, repair and other stuff in there, too.
The Washington Post story from this summer says it cost $4 million to build and secures 150 bikes inside and 20 outside. It costs bikers $1 a day from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. or $100 a year.
We've talked a lot about bike safety and bike security. What are the chances of getting something like this at Penn Station or downtown? Would you use it? Would you pay for it?

unlikly unless the city of baltimore can squeeze 3 million dollars out of the budget to pay for it.
