Here are the new bike corrals outside Continuum Cycles on Avenue B



Thanks to @chufucious for passing along this photo showing the brand-new bike corrals in front of Continuum Cycles (and Continuum Coffee) on Avenue B near East 12th Street...

Here's a photo of the DOT installing them yesterday via @nixta ...



Back in December, we noted that CB3 OK'd bike corrals (CityRacks!) for the 4th Street Food Co-op and Continuum Cycles.

More bike corrals on the way for East Village businesses

CB3 has OK'd bike corrals (CityRacks!) for two East Village businesses — the 4th Street Food Co-op and Continuum Cycles on Avenue B.

These will be similar to the ones that the DOT installed in front of Mudspot on East Ninth Street back in April ...

Jill Woodward wrote this last week at the The 4th Street Food Co-op blog:

We need the parking because so many of our members and shoppers arrive by bike, and it can be difficult to find a parking place near the store.

The tradeoff is 1-2 fewer spaces for automobiles in exchange for up to 20 spots for cycles. That calculation can result in more business for the neighborhood, according to a recent report by TA.

We also understand that Mudspot and Bluestockings on Allen Street have the go-ahead to expand their current bike corrals... No timelines on when the DOT will install any of these bike racks ... word is early 2013.
