WASHINGTON, DC- Union Station just got a bit more biker friendly to D.C. cyclists.
A 1,700 square foot bike complex will open on October 2 right outside of Union Station. The center was a joint financial effort by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the District Department of Transportation.
It will feature 150 in-door bike racks, 20 outdoor bike racks, changing rooms, lockers and a bike repair shop, according to the DDOT.
The Bike Center will be open from 7am until 7pm and customers can opt to pay either the $1 a day access fee, or purchase an annual membership for $100. If customers wish to access their bikes after hours they must pay the annual fee which will give them access to a security swipe card to enter the facility.
The DDOT hopes the new center will help cut back on bike crime.
