Bicycle Parking Ordinances

This Bicycle Parking Ordiances guide was developed for LACBC by Rye Baerg to assist advocacy efforts and promote bicycling across Los Angeles County. This guide provides examples of how different cities across the United States have implemented bicycle parking requirements in their zoning codes. Its primary goal is to save planners valuable research hours and allow them to quickly and efficiently draft bicycle parking ordinances for new development.
