How it Works

The Bike Station Program offers 3 types of secure bike parking options: FREE valet bike parking, 24-hour* controlled-access parking, and secure bike racks.

Free valet parking:

Register in-person. Sign in and hand us your bike, no lock required. Mechanics are available for bike repairs, and common commute gear and products are available.

24-hour controlled-access parking:

Purchase a BikeLink card online or at any staffed Bike Station. Then register at bikelink.org. You can now use all BikeLink facilities found throughout California.
Your $20 Bike Link card is pre-loaded with $20 parking value. A one time ID verification is required to use the controlled-access bike stations. Verify for free in advance or immediately for $5 at a BikeLink kiosk.
Always lock your bicycle. These are unattended, shared use facilities.

Free smart bike racks:

Bikeep smart racks add additional security alongside your own lock and secured seat. Get more info about the program here, or click here to register.

VALET PARKING

Valet Parking

Valet bike parking is free during the day. After a quick one-time registration, follow the steps below to use valet service:

Remove necessary items from bicycle and place bicycle in rack at front counter.
Take a claim ticket, tear in half. Attach the larger half to to your bicycle, the smaller is your claim check: keep it safe!
Sign into parking form. Include your full name, a brief description of the bicycle, and the last four numbers on your ticket.
Always keep an eye on your bicycle until a staff member acknowledges you or has secured your bike behind the counter.

Rules

For security, we do not allow overnight parking (exceptions may be made for reverse commuters, please inquire). A $5 overnight fee will be assessed each night, and bicycles left over one week may be donated or given to police.
We are not responsible for any articles attached on the bike and bikes left overnight.
Only you and those you designate on your Registration Form can retrieve your bike.

It is easier to park your bike when: unused bags/baskets are closed and folded, helmets are buckled to the top frame of your bike, and loose items are secured.

Our space is optimized for traditional-sized bicycles. We may accommodate cargo bicycles when possible. We do not park scooters, recumbents, or other bikes that cannot safely fit in our racks. Gas motors are never permitted in the Station.

Available at: Downtown Berkeley, Fruitvale & Uptown

CONTROLLED ACCESS

Controlled Access Parking

Our Controlled Access Bike Stations are available 21-24 hours a day (see below). Parking costs just 5¢/hr from 8am – 8pm weekdays, and 3¢/hr all other times.

The Basics

Close the door behind you every time you enter or exit. DO NOT allow anyone else in or out. Each user must check-in and check-out with their own card.

Once inside, you have 10 minutes to remain in the station. Beyond this, an alarm will sound and we will be alerted of potential security breaches.

Always lock your bike with a stout u-lock. This is an unattended, shared-use facility.

Park for up to 10 days at a time. Overtime Rates apply. Bikes left longer may be considered abandoned.

Your bicycle must always be identified with your Bike Link ID Card Number. Use the sticker provided with your Bike Link card or a temporary hang tag provided in the station.

A Few Details

Access hours: Ashby, Berkeley, and Pleasant Hill controlled-access parking are open 24/7. Embarcadero & Civic Center Bike Stations are inaccessible when the BART Station closes (approximately 1am – 4am).

Lost or missing card: Call BikeLink at (888) 540-0546 immediately to deactivate the card. If you lose your card the value is also lost. You will have to purchase a new card.

FAQ

How much will all this cost me?

Valet stations are always free during the day. Our 24-hour controlled-access stations cost only 5¢/hr weekdays 8am – 8pm and 3¢/hr all other times. If you parked five days a week, 50 weeks a year, from 9am – 5pm, you’ll pay about $100 all year.

Can I park an [e-bike/scooter/tandem/cargo-bike/etc…]?

Staffed BikeHub facilities allow bicycles & electric-assist bikes that can be safely stored in a single bicycle parking rack. On a case-by-case basis, staff may accommodate other human powered or electric-assist vehicles such as skateboards, scooters. Full-electric or Gas-powered vehicles are never permitted.

Accessories may be stored only if they are securely attached to any permitted vehicle.

Is it safe?

We believe the Bike Station is the best publicly available bicycle parking option. That said, we are not responsible for any articles attached to your bicycle. We are not responsible for any items left overnight.

Why do you charge by the hour in your controlled-access facilities?

To accommodate as many users as possible, and discourage long-term storage of bikes. Our model accommodates as many as 5 users for each parking space, maximizing usage while charging users less.

How do I verify my BikeLink account?

To keep the facility safe, each patron is required to validate their identity. Verify for free in advance (may take up to 4 business hours to process) or immediately for $5 at a BikeLink kiosk. For more information, contact Bikelink via email or at 888-540-0546.

Why do you discourage overnight parking at valet stations?

The purpose of the Bike Station is to provide short-term secure bike parking. Long-term storage decreases the number of spaces available for use. Bikes parked overnight also increase the risk of theft.

Where can I find a list of all BART rules for cyclists?

A complete list is available online, click here.

Who pays for the bike stations?

BART allocates funds from various transit authorities (such as MTC), federal funds to encourage transit (Safe Routes to Transit), and clean air agencies (BAAQM, CalTrans). BART also coordinates partnerships with cities to support the program. As the operator, our job is to reduce funding needs each year through sales and repairs.
